Cotton Ball Fun: Cotton balls are a great fine motor therapy material! By pinching and pulling the cotton balls, we promote the development of our in-hand manipulation as well as our precise pincer grasp. By using two hands we promote bilateral coordination. These skills are essential for many tasks including dressing, buttoning, tying our shoes, and feeding ourselves, just to name a few! By adding a glue bottle, compared to a glue stick, we can work on using the correct amount of pressure, which is our proprioceptive sense, and strengthen hands at the same time! #shenandoahsoundstart #pediatrictherapy, #OT #finemotorskills #pincergrasp #developmentalplay #finemotor #sensory #soundstart #OTmonth #learnthroughplay #kidsOT #occupationaltherapy #soundstartva #shenandoahsoundstartva (at Shenandoah SOUNDstart, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/COO_yIRsyZF/?igshid=1b5apmpikovsl

Today we are practicing our fine motor skills using her favorite motivator… FOOD! She has a ways to go before really mastering the pincer grasp (thumb and forefinger pinch) but we will keep practicing.

I’ve been doing my own hybrid version of BLW to help set her up for the future. BLW will get a lot easier and less messier for the both of us once she gets the pincer grasp down.

The Pincer Grasp

The pincer grasp is a developmental milestone that typically occurs at 9 – 12 months of age. By using the index finger and thumb, or the index and middle fingers opposing the thumb, a child is able to pick up and place small items in a controlled manner. 

Why should my child develop a pincer grasp?

A pincer grasp not only enables a young child to perform daily tasks with ease but it is also a vital precursor to writing. Children need to have a strong and controlled pencil grip to form letters correctly and write for sustained periods later in life. Other important tasks that a pincer grip is used for: 

 Holding utensils and feeding effectively

 Fastening closures (zippers, snaps, buttons) on garments easily

 Using scissors

 Manipulating small items within the hand (eg. transferring coins within the palm out to the fingertips)

There are endless opportunities to develop your child’s pincer grasp with toys that he or she already has at home.  Here are a few of my favourites:

 Playdough or Clay – practice rolling the dough between the thumb and index finger to make small balls; flatten the balls by pinching them between the pads of the thumb and index finger; press different small items (dried pasta, large buttons) into the dough to make an imprint

 Lego or Blocks – connect or stack the pieces together to make a tower or a set of stairs; taking Lego pieces apart is just as important for fine motor development as putting them together!

 Tweezers or Tongs – pick up various small toys, pom poms, leaves, etc using tongs and place them in a receptacle.

 Pom Poms – fill up a water bottle or another container with a small opening with pom poms (the smaller, the more challenging!)

We practiced this fifty eleven times before I recorded it! This is how NOT to do a demo with your baby. Smh...Mason makes me look like I make up stuff he can do. LOL #pincer #pincergrasp #learning #eating #masongray #uncooperative
