Tiddly-Button-Winks

Materials Needed:

• 8-10 flat buttons about 1" in diameter

• small butter container and lid

Directions:

• put the container or lid (depending on level of difficulty you are looking for) about 2' away from you

• place one button flat on the floor

• hold another button with your thumb and index finger, tip to tip

• press the button in your fingertips to the edge of the button on the floor to try to make it "jump"

• repeat until the button lands in the lid or container

• take a few turns

Goals:

• separation of the two sides of the hand

• pincer grasp

• opposition

• open web space

Modifications:

• lid versus container

• be sure all non-used fingers are curled into the palm of the hand
