OT Activity of the Day
Snowflake
Target Age Range: 5 and up
Not only did we use scissors to cut shapes and lines out for our snowflakes, but we also used a hole puncher for some added flair!
Making a snowflake is a great way to work on visual motor skills and scissor skills. First you have to fold the paper into fourths and this is a great way to practice lining up the edges (fine motor manipulation and visual motor skills). Once the paper is folded then you get to cut and hole punch! These two skills focus on hand strength and bilateral coordination. Two skills necessary for writing!
So make a snowflake and support those writing skills!
Enjoy!
