This time of year is stuffed full of arts and crafts projects from ornament making to baking, to cutting out snowmen and drawing winter wonderlands. A busy happy time for most, but for our kiddos with special needs these fine motor tasks can be especially challenging. Here are a few ideas to help with inclusion, not seclusion during holiday art activities and are sure to promote continued fun into the New Year!
Adapted Art Supplies: Gift Ideas for Kids With Special Needs
Adapted art supplies are a great option for kids with special needs who may have challenges using tools that require fine motor skills. These art supplies make it easier for aspiring artists with special needs — allowing them to explore creative skills without the necessary tools standing as a roadblock.
Scratch Art Glitter Boards: These are great for those with limited cognitive and/or fine motor skills. If the stylus is too thin to hold then slide on a foam Abiligrip.
