Here are 2 fun activities to help make your hands and fingers stronger:
Get your play dough (or clay or whatever you have).
SQUEEZE a ball of dough with your hand!
Here is a video to show you what to do:
- Make one medium-sized ball.
- Squeeze it 10 times in one hand.
- Squeeze it 10 times in the other hand.
SQUISH 10 small balls between your fingers!
Here is a video to show you what to do with your fingers:
- Make ten small balls from play dough.
- Squish all the balls between your pincer fingers (thumb and index finger). Pretend the play dough is a bug or egg or something else you could squish!
- Roll the balls again.
- Repeat with the thumb and middle finger, and then with the thumb, index and middle fingers all together. Use all your fingers 10 times!
- Switch hands and do the same thing on the other hand.
Have fun squishing and squeezing!
