| Button Gloves |
| After seeing this idea at the Time For Play blog I thought it would be a great activity to share for pediatric occupational therapy. Purpose: This activity encourages finger isolation, thumb opposition, proprioceptive input and fun! Materials: gloves, matching buttons and glue Preparation: Glue the buttons onto the gloves matching the fingers on each glove. |
| Activity 1: Practice opposition. You can call out the colors that the child needs to match with the thumb. |
| Activity 2: Provide proprioceptive input by matching up the buttons and pressing against the hands |
| Activity 3: Tap the gloves on the floor using the buttons to make noise. |
