HOLIDAY CRAFTS
Holiday crafts are easy, fun and creative ways to work on fine motor coordination, visual perception, visual motor integration, bilateral motor coordination, sensory processing and executive functioning skills. Even having your child make their own holiday cards for family and friends is a great way to work on motor skills while expressing creativity.
Crafting experiences do not need to be costly--simply look around your home for old magazines, boxes, paper, cards, crayons, markers, coloring books, glue, tape, string, buttons, material, etc. A child’s imagination understands how to magically transform “trash” into “treasures”. The Dollar Tree also offers a wide variety of crafting materials and activities for a very affordable cost.
Here are a few ideas to keep you busy during the holiday season. Please feel free to upgrade/downgrade each activity to meet your child’s specific needs.. You can also modify each activity to specific season, religious holiday, etc.
