Re: Family Game for fine/oral/gross motor delays

[Guest guest]

This caterpillar color and shape beading game is hard to find, it was

highly recommended in a family magazine and its been snapped up

everywhere..great fine motor activity, roll the dice and find the

color/shape to thread onto the caterpillar body. See this link for the

game. If you google the game you may be able to find it somewhere

online that has it instock.

This one I got for my daughters, also another great fine motor game,

also color/picture matching and lining up the pieces. See this link

for the game.

game and my son, of course, loves the strategy part and we like that

we're just sitting down together and doing something quiet and

peaceful .  Any ideas on games?  Thanks  tara

How about some of the new Dr Seuss games?

In " Cat in the hat I can do that " you pick three cards that tell you

what to do (task) with ______ in (location). One says " Take 4 giant

steps " with " cake " (foam toy included in game) " balanced on your head " .

If a child can't do it, they have the chance to put the cards down and

wait for a more appropriate challenge, but I'm sure you can change the

rules as you choose for your daughter. I bought it for my children - my

daughter (4) has hypotonia/ motor planning issues and my son has

apraxia (some motor planning issues as well, but so mild that only a

therapist can spot them...).

There's also " Horton hears a who - you to the rescue " , " The Grinch -

Sing your heart out " , and " Oh the Places you'll go - board game " .

The cat in the hat is selling for $6 at Amazon ($15 at Target). At that

price, I'm buying a few - I can wrap it up with a Cat in the Hat book

and give it as an affordable perfect gift for any 3 y/o I come across.
