Christmas activities are so fun! There are so many variations you can do with just Christmas trees. Here is one that works on hand strengthening and the use of a hole puncher. You can also work on cutting skills, counting, and bilateral coordination.

Make a paper plate Christmas tree.

First start by tracing a triangle on the paper plate. Then cut the triangle out. The paper should have an empty triangle in the middle. The brown you see is the table. Next up...place some dots along the sides of the tree and work on hand strengthening, bilateral coordination, and visual motor skills to line up and make holes using a hole puncher. Next, lace yarn through each hole...targeting visual motor integration and bilateral coordination skills. Lace around the holes multiple times if you want the tree to look fuller. Finally, decorate! Draw and copy pictures such as presents, snowflakes or anything else you can think of! Want to make it more festive? Color around the rim of the paper plate with paint, markers, or stickers to look like a wreath.

Are you getting into the holiday spirit? Holiday cookies are one of the many traditions during this time. Did you know that baking cookies offers your child to improve upon so many skills! Not only does it address skills such as reading and math but this is a great sensory activity. Let them and your kitchen get a little messy! It will be worth it with all of the smiles and giggles and memories you are creating with your child. And as an OT there's a huge amount of fine motor skills targeted with baking:

Mixing
Scooping
Rolling
Slicing
Decorating
Pouring
Molding

All of these tasks need your hands to work together. Molding and decorating the cookies help strengthen their visual motor skills if they are suppose to copy a specific shape or design.

Most of all, have fun! This can become a yearly tradition.
