Our Occupational Therapist from Help Me Grow had some wonderful and creative ideas for developing fine motor skills.
This one involved putting food into mini muffin tins so that Joey has to use his "pincer" grip to grab the food out. We used bananas, but cheerios or really any food about the size of a dime or a penny would work.
I will say-- it helped when one of us held the muffin tin down so that Joey couldn't dump the whole thing out, which was wonderful problem solving, but we are trying to work on Fine Motor skills.
This is the last week for the Stonz Booties Giveaway!!
