Mr. Potato Head
Setting:
anywhere in home, school or daycare
Ingredients:
Mr. or Mrs.
Potato Head
Mr. or Mrs.
Potato Head accessories
Paper
Bins
Glue
Pictures of
building a Potato Head in steps
Instructions:
Put all potato head bodies in one bin,
accessories in another bin.
Glue pictures of piecing together a Mr.
Potato Head on a larger piece of paper in order.
Have the individual create the Mr. Potato
Head in the picture by using problem solving to identify the accessory and piece it together.
Purpose: This activity works on sequencing and
completion of a small task. By incorporating numbers to identity steps it also
is introducing numbers that are needed for school tasks. Placing the small
accessories into the holes to create the Mr. Potato Head in the picture uses
fine motor skills. Grasp are also used in this activity by holding the big
potato body. It also works on following directions, which are needed for school
or work settings only through visual aids versus verbal cues that we most often
get from teachers or bosses. Identification of objects and sorting is used to
find the individual pieces that are shown in the pictures when all the
accessories are combined together in bins.
