She is so smart that kindergarten is just boring for her, yet she has a lot of social and sensory issues. One of the things that helped her fine motor skills was cutting. Craft foam is especially easy and satisfying to cut. Also, we got a great book from Kumon (bought it at Target) that was a cutting book where each page was an activity and they got progressively harder.<br /><br />I'm going to follow your blog. Always good to know another spectrum homeschooling parent.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17715978288018800117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784092352521633959.post-38918579021874686722010-05-18T15:14:36.374-05:002010-05-18T15:14:36.374-05:00I'll have to try this too!

I've taught sign to my girls since birth, and I've noticed that it has helped with fine motor skills. They are only 2.5 yrs old, but they can manipulate their fingers in all sorts of signs and it's shown up in other areas too. Just another benefit to signing! (Also, spatial awareness is another huge benefit to signing.)<br />Amanda from http://txtwins.blogspot.comAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530353457851225134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784092352521633959.post-42884857949739832932010-05-18T03:38:37.570-05:002010-05-18T03:38:37.570-05:00I have been thinking of doing this very same thing...I have been thinking of doing this very same thing for over a year now. Not sire what has been stopping me. Looks like it worked for you!<br /><br />Another great idea for fine motor is clothespins. They work the pincer grasp and are open to soooo many possibilities. We build constructions with them, use them for story sequencing, use them with ABC's, use them traditionally, use them for.... well, you name it, we do it! If you need ideas or specifics, just ask!Martiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304352490207855367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784092352521633959.post-30832704927949617382010-05-17T18:00:50.003-05:002010-05-17T18:00:50.003-05:00I need to do that, because my kids can't butto...I need to do that, because my kids can't button worth anything.Ticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970101432834731044noreply@blogger.com
