Pincer Grasp Workout Number 5

Pin Pricking


Pin pricking shapes, letters, or numbers is a great pincer grasp workout.

We used a toothpick to pin prick shapes and lines.

I didn't feel comfortable having her pin prick letters or numbers because Bear isn't interested in tracing letters and numbers in the conventional direction and I would prefer if she did it correctly so that she doesn't get confused when she is ready to start writing.

It was fun to look through the pin pricks at the light coming through.

On black paper
,
you could pin prick
a constellation
and it would be like the stars shining in the sky. This would go well with a space unit or theme.


Stay tuned for Pincer Grasp Workout Number 6.

More fine motor skills activity.
