I posted a request (to an email list I am on) for sensory activities to help strengthen my sons finger and hand muscles... here are some of the ideas I received. I am posting them here so I have them all in one spot and so others who need them can use them.

finger painting - playdough - clay - writing in sand - digging around in jello - mini markers - fist crayons or broken crayons - spray bottle w/ water - turkey baster in the water - tearing paper - playing with beans - scissor cutting - eye droppers - picking things up with tweezers - clothes pegs - lacing cards - stringing beads - hand extensions

Well, those are some really good ideas. I have to start trying them. I had playdough out today and he was not interested at all. I think he would like the finger painting though.
