Christmas time is a perfect opportunity to combine fun, creativity, and skill-building! At Therapy Hive, we love supporting children to develop fine motor skills, problem-solving, and independence through playful, festive activities.
Here are 4 easy Christmas crafts you can try at home:
Paper Chain Decorations – Cutting, gluing, and linking paper strips helps children practice hand strength, coordination, and sequencing skills. Plus, it’s a great way to decorate your home together!
Handprint Ornaments – Tracing, painting, and cutting handprints allows children to strengthen fine motor control while creating special keepsakes for the tree or gifts.
Card decorating – Placing stickers, pom poms, sprinkling glitter and other crafts encourages finger coordination, precision, and creativity. Children can make unique cards for friends and family while learning patience and planning.
Christmas Tree Collage – Sorting materials, arranging shapes, and gluing pieces onto a tree encourages problem-solving, spatial awareness, and creativity. Children can explore colours, patterns, and design ideas while practicing focus and persistence.
These activities are a fun and practical ways to develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, creativity, and confidence. Most importantly, they provide a chance for families to connect and celebrate!
