We hope everybody is staying safe and warm during these cold, snowy days! Here are three indoor activities to keep kids busy and engaged, while still working on fine motor and sequencing skills! Brought to you by one of our awesome OTs, Jake!
1. Indoor Snowballs
a. Ingredients: Loose leaf paper, plastic wrap
b. Crumple the paper with one hand (or two for bilateral coordination), lay it on a flat sheet of plastic wrap and roll the ball on it like a snowball in the snow.
c. FIGHT!
2. Maple Sugar Snow Ice Cream
a. Ingredients: Bowl of fresh, clean snow, 1/2c of cream, pinch of sea salt, maple syrup to taste
b. Add the cream to the snow, add a pinch of salt and maple syrup, mix until combined and to desired texture.
c. ENJOY!
3. Make a Marshmallow Catapult
a. Materials: Popsicle sticks, rubber bands, plastic spoon, marshmallows
b. Create a fulcrum and bind together with rubber bands on each end. Push in between other two sticks and secure with another rubber band in an “X” pattern. Place plastic spoon on top and secure with another rubber band. Tuck it into the central rubber band to secure. (Please use image on the post for reference)
c. LAUNCH!
