Setting: at home or in the classroom setting
Materials:
Different Colored Pipe Cleaners
Markers
Zip Lock Baggie
Clothespins
Instructions:
1. First write on every clothespin a color and put in a baggie.
2. Next have the individual take the pipe cleaners and create them to be in a circle.
3. Next have them pick a clothespin out of a bag and have them attach the clothespin to the color pipe-cleaner ring.
Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to emphasize the individual's color Identification, critical thinking and problem solving to figure out what clothespin goes to what pipe cleaner. Fine motor skills are used in order to pinch the clothespin open enough to attach it to a pipe cleaner. Strengthening of small hand muscles were used in order to pinch the pipe-cleaners together to create a circle. This exercise could have exercised fine motor control even more if they had the individual write the names of the colors on the clothespins and set into the baggie. This would practice writing skills and also use regulation and hand eye coordination in order to accurately put the clothespins in the baggie.
