Hands and Body Activities
Nine activities you can set up from what is already in the house. One or two a day is plenty — this is not a checklist.
3–9
Fine finger work
Pinching between thumb and finger uses the same muscles a pencil grip stands on.
ร้อยลูกปัด
Threading beads
คีบปอมปอม
Tongs and pompoms
หนีบไม้หนีบผ้า
Pegs on the rim
คีบด้วยแหนบ
Tweezer pick
Two hands, two jobs
ตัดกระดาษตามเส้น
Snipping along a line
นวดแป้งโดว์
Squeezing dough
Heavy work, which settles a body
Pressure through the joints genuinely settles a child who cannot sit still. Useful right before anything that needs sitting.
ดันกำแพง
Pushing the wall
ยกตะกร้าผ้า
Carrying the basket
เข็นเก้าอี้
Pushing the chair
You do not have to do all nine. One your child likes, done often, beats all nine done once and dropped.
