Heart Stamps
Setting: Flat
surface at home or at school, desk area or table.
Materials:
Paper
Paint
Tape
Tape
Paper plate
Empty Toilet
Paper Roll
Instructions:
Fold one side of the empty toilet paper
role so that it forms a heart shape and put tape across to hold it.
Put paint in a paper plate and put paper
out.
Allow the individual to take the empty
toilet paper roll and dip it in the paint and place it on the paper to make
heart stamps.
Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate regulation of
gross motor control to not slam the stamp on the paper with their hand and arm in
order to make the stamps look pronounced instead of a paint mess. Fine motor
control and grasp are exercised in order for the individual to not drop the
stamp and hand muscles are strengthened which will help with fine motor
activities of putting on a bracelet and buttoning a shirt. Dexterity could be
enforced along with across the body if paper was placed on the non-dominant
side forcing them to increase their range of motion in radial or ulnar
deviation.
