Fine Motor and Letters With Munchy Ball

I wanted to use the Munchy Ball in a new game with letters so that we could practice writing and build fine motor skills and hand strength at the same time.

I started with just cutting foam squares from different colors and writing letters on them.  I also made a color dice by sticking colored foam on the sides of a dice.  I had the kids roll a number dice to see how many squares of each color they needed to get.  Then they practiced writing the letters and then they got to feed the letters to the Munchy Ball.

I am working on a more detailed game, but have not finished it yet.  What type of games do you play with your Munchy Ball?

Here are some other posts that I have written about the Munchy Ball.
