OT Fine Motor Activity Kit

Parent-friendly occupational therapy activities using everyday household items. Designed to reinforce fine motor skills your child is working on in OT.

01

Bead Threading

Pincer grasp, bilateral coordination, visual-motor integration
Materials: Large beads or pasta (penne/rigatoni), string or pipe cleaners, tape
  1. Tape one end of the string to the table so it stays still
  2. Show your child how to hold the bead in one hand and the string in the other
  3. Start with large holes (pasta) and work toward smaller beads
  4. Let them make a necklace or pattern — purpose makes it more fun!
Make it easier: Use pipe cleaners (stiffer than string). Make it harder: Use smaller beads or follow a color pattern.
02

Playdough Letters

Hand strengthening, letter formation, sensory input
Materials: Playdough (homemade or store-bought), letter cards or a printed alphabet
  1. Have your child roll playdough into "snakes" (this builds hand strength!)
  2. Shape the snakes into letters — start with their name
  3. Use a letter card as a reference
  4. Practice 3-5 letters per session (don't overdo it)
Make it easier: You form the letter, child traces it. Make it harder: Form letters without a reference card.
03

Clothespin Pickup

Pinch strength, open-close hand movement, motor planning
Materials: Clothespins (spring-type), small items to pick up (pompoms, cotton balls), a container
  1. Scatter small items on a table or tray
  2. Show your child how to open the clothespin using thumb and index finger
  3. Pick up items one at a time and transfer to a container
  4. Count together as they go — "You got 5 pompoms!"
Make it easier: Use wider clothespins or tweezers. Make it harder: Use tongs, or clip clothespins onto a container rim.
04

Spray Bottle Art

Hand strengthening, grasp endurance, crossing midline
Materials: Small spray bottle, food coloring or washable paint, large paper
  1. Fill spray bottle with water mixed with a few drops of food coloring
  2. Tape paper to a wall or easel at your child's shoulder height
  3. Let them spray to create art — focus on squeezing the trigger
  4. Encourage spraying with both hands and reaching across their body
Great outdoor activity! The spray motion builds the same muscles used for handwriting.
