Improving Fine Motor Manipulation

July 14, 2016 Shaun Grant
OT Activity of the Day- Improving Fine Motor Manipulation

OT Activity of the Day:

Dot Markers

Target Age Range: 2 and up

Around the age of 2 children start to learn to unscrew a twist top.  This skill will help them open a lid to a jar, turn a door knob or even unwrap small pieces of candy, yum!  To help facilitate this skill and the coordination of their little wrists, fingers and palms I often use dot markers.  Dot markers are great because each marker has a screw top as a lid.  These are motivating and fun and a great way to place emphasis on this skill set!   

I found these dot markers and coloring book at Michael's.  Enjoy!
