Setting: school or at home
Materials:
Pipe Cleaners
Hershey Kisses
Instructions:
1. Take two pipe cleaners and turn the hershey kiss upside-down.
2. Take the first pipe cleaner and put it diagonally across the hershey kiss and do the same for the second pipe-cleaner.
3. If their fingers are small enough you could have them twist the pipe cleaner at the bottom of the hershey kiss and wrap around the excess pipe cleaner into a circle so that they could wear it as a ring.
Purpose: A fun way for individuals can strengthen hand muscles while twisting and maneuvering the pipe-cleaners and exercising fine motor control. This also could be a social interaction project since some sites recommend it as a valentines day idea and leave the rings in people's valentines day boxes. Regulation would be needed for the individual to not eat the hershey kisses and actually complete the diamond ring task.
