Stringing cheerios onto pipe cleaners
I work with a child that needs to improve her fine motor skills, but she puts everything in her mouth. She enjoys the marble run, but I am nervous about using it with her. I decided to try stringing cheerios as a good edible fine motor activity.
My client is not ready to string the cheerios onto a string, so we ar putting them on a pipe cleaner. Honey comb is a fun alternative with many holes to string through.
Materials:
- Pipe cleaner
- Cheerios (or honeycomb)
Skills:
- Fine motor
- Fine motor precision
