We've been working a lot on small motor activities lately, and I thought I'd share a few of my favorites. Today's activity was a really simple activity. All I did was dive Arden an old empty spice container and some dried beans. While I worked with the boys on their school she amused herself putting all the beans in the container, dumping them out and starting over again.

Some other fun activities include Play-doh (also great to help strengthen hand muscles), bottles and boxes with lids to practice placing and removing, and other sorting/threading activities. It's fun to mix it up using different activities to practice the same skills. We recently bought a shaker and some party-color toothpicks for her to practice threading. So far that seems to be a hit.
