Proprioception Winter Activity Throwing Snowflakes

Proprioception activities are organizing and regulating.  This weighted snowflake activity is a fun way to turn Occupational Therapy and therapy goals into play with a winter theme.

Proprioception activity to throw weighted snowflakes

Make weighted snowflakes.  We used bean bags and felt snowflakes.


Cut felt snowflakes from white glitter felt.  Cut a small square of the glitter felt.  Ours were 3″x 3″ and big enough to fit on our bean bags.  Cutting the felt is a great proprioception activity for the hands. 


Pin these to bean bags with safety pins to create weighted snowflakes.   Your weighted snowflakes are done and ready for a little indoor proprioception play!


Toss the weighted snowflakes into a target such as a bucket or a basket.  You could even toss them into a sled like we did in this snowball fight activity.

This activity can be modified to work on other goal areas:
Move closer or further back from the target.  
Try adding additional body movements like jumps and hops for added proprioceptive input.
Work on counting with one-to-one correspondence.
Add additional movement components by creating an indoor obstacle course.
