OT at Home: Little Pegs, Big Skills!
Did you know that something as simple as clipping clothes pegs onto paper can help develop important fine motor skills?
In this week’s OT at Home, our Occupational Therapist Himani shows us how to use everyday clothes pegs to help children develop their pincer grasp, finger strength and hand control – all important skills for activities like writing, dressing and using cutlery.
- Match coloured pegs to coloured paper for a little colour-sorting challenge.
- Or get creative and give a smiley face some colourful hair!
These simple, low-cost activities are great for practising fine motor skills at home and supporting children with autism and additional needs.
Give it a try! We’d love to know how you get on.
