This activity focuses on developing gross motor skills, motor planning, following directions, as well as auditory processing while listening to when the music starts/stops.

Scissor skill development to address distal dexterity, hand strength, eye-hand coordination, rhythmic timing of coordinated cutting, bilateral integration, tactile exploration, sequencing, and attention to task.

Facilitation of sequencing, following directions, material management, cutting, and drawing to create a Puurrfect Friend! Build on this fun craft with some imaginative play and fun animal sounds or gross motor movements when you pretend to be cats, too!

The WH Questions Game requires a lot of language skills. A child must understand the question word, understand the grammar of the question, and make sense of the information and the social context.

This craft works on the development of fine motor and visual motor skills, following directions, and attention to detail. It is a fun opportunity to play and talk about dental hygiene at home.

Give your child a fun sensory experience while learning colors, counting, building core strength for stability during reaching for sorting, and visual- motor integration to scan, motor plan for obtaining heart, fine motor dexterity to retrieve the heart, and gross motor skill for reaching and placing the heart with the same color or same size.
