We made Scorpion’s out of straws and beads using a Q-tip to draw on the glue. Gripping the Q-tip and controlling a tracing movement is a great way to strengthen the “pincher grip.” Making our fine motor muscle tone stronger will help us to be able to prepare for the task of writing.

We made a beautiful rainbow collage on our journal covers today. Using our fine motor muscles we worked hard tearing small pieces of paper to create a circluar rainbow collage. Tearing paper is a wonderful way to strengthen your fine motor muscles in preperation to becoming strong writers. We will be using these journals all year for a variety of writing activities!
