Fine Motor Hook Activity
For my final presentation, I had fun hook activities that I saw actual occupational therapists do. One hook activity I used was corn starch set up. Occupational therapist use the cornstarch as a sensory stimulating exercise for children with sensory issues. Another activity I had was a plastic bag sealed with lotion and a magnet inside. The plastic bag was accompanied with a glue stick with a magnet attached to the top. The activity was created as an exercise for children to practice holding paper down and using different grasps. The last activity I had was a paint pad which was mostly for fun. All that is done to the paint pad is using your index finger to draw.
