Today I am sharing 50 Must-Make, Super Cool DIY Fine Motor Skills Toys. These include homemade toys for toddlers, preschoolers and school aged kids. Make them as a gift or make them together to give your child the gift of MAKING their own toys! How cool is THAT!? Affiliate links are used in this post.
Below is a list of 50 Cool fine motor activities from Lalymom, my fellow bloggers and others around the web.
You will find toys made using recyclables, household items and craft supplies. Each one can be made with your own spin, customizing colors, shapes and more to fit you child's personality!
You'll find toys that encourage pushing, pulling, twisting, turning, poking, cutting, dropping, clipping, pinching, tying, stacking, buttoning and even flicking.
Phew- So much fun packed into this post.
And every single idea just begs to be played with in a way that is sure to get those hands, fingers and thumbs moving.
