[Nfb-krafters-korner] Craft Ideas for Fine Motor Skills

[Zimmer, Cindy]

I'll jump in on this idea.  I just read recently that if you bake your cookies in a muffin tin, it keeps the cookie soft.  It would also help space the cookie out nicely.  You could make the cookie dough and use a muffin tin to show you a full cell by putting cookies so you have a Braille Cell.  We are going to make a letter D.  Where would you put the cookies?  Etc.

The first thing that comes to mind is making anything with clay/play-dough.

Or even the actual making of the play dough.


Making cookies.  Mixing the batter, and rolling the dough balls to bake.


Building things with leggos, or how about with sugar cubes?

Lace cards.  They are cards with holes punched in them.  You "sew "in a sort
of connect the dots format,    with a shoe lace in those holes.

Hello

 

I'm working with a little girl who is blind and we're doing some pre-Braille stuff. Any ideas on fun crafts that are easy but involve some dexterity?
