Building upper body strength at home can be so easy and fun! 💪✨ Try these simple activities to boost arm, hand, and finger strength:
🥣 Cooking: Mixing, kneading, and pouring are fantastic for building arm and finger strength.
🐷 Coin Posting: Dropping coins into a piggy bank works on in-hand manipulation and pincer grasp.
📌 Peg Play: Squeeze pegs to hang clothes or create patterns—perfect for finger strength, hand-eye coordination, and bilateral skills.
💦 Spray Bottles: Use them to water plants, aim at a target, or clean a whiteboard—great for building grip strength!
💎 Bead Sorting: Sort beads by shape, size, or color for some fine motor fun and coordination.
🧽 Sponge Squeezes: Wiping desks or windows and wringing out sponges builds hand strength and is super satisfying too!
Make it fun, make it functional!
