INDOOR ACTIVITIES--pick 1 
1. Use fingertips to pick up 4 tiny objects: coins, cheerios, paper clips, legos, etc and place them 1 at a time on a specific spot on a piece of paper using only the hand you use to write (ie: the "pick up and hide" game). Use the tripod pencil grasp to write down what you have picked up, making sure you start letters at the top and sit them on the writing line. Don't forget the letters that have "tails" that go below the line. Please refer to the letter page for reminders about how to form letters.

2. Use the tripod pencil grasp while completing other homework or while coloring a coloring page or drawing a picture.

3. Look at a cereal box and find different colors and shapes. Write the colors and shapes you find on a list, writing numbers 1-5, or up to 10 if you have time. Don't forget to use the tripod pencil grasp. Go to the letter page if you  forget how to form numbers and letters correctly.
