Sight words, visual perceptual skills, fine motor skills... and fun! These sight words have a snowflake theme, making them a fun way to play memory, tic tac toe, or other games. Here’s how we used sight words for a winter tic tac toe game: https://www.theottoolbox.com/kindergarten-sight-words-winter-tic-tac-toe/ ❄️ How would you use these sight word markers?

Bilateral coordination is important for a variety of skills.

When bilateral coordination or bilateral integration is intact and progressing appropriately through development, it is an indicator that both sides of the brain are communicating effectively and sharing information during functional tasks.

Younger toddlers and babies can be observed using both hands in play as they pick up objects in their line of sight. However, they typically will pick up items with the hand that is closest to the object or toy.

As toddlers progress in development, they will begin to establish a dominant hand and crossing midline. This ability to utilize a dominant hand and a non-dominant hand in activities indicates a maturation of the brain and lateralization in functional tasks, which is very important for motor planning, directionality, and visual motor skills.

Snowflake clippings!
So much fun and a beautiful result while building hand strength, working on scissor skills, and making family fun memories. ❄️Fold coffee filters in half, in half again, and in half one last time to make a pie slice shape.
❄️Color with markers. We used washables, sharpies, highlighters...the whole gamut!
❄️Dip in water and allow to dry. Keep them folded until dry.
❄️Snip and cut shapes along the edges and unfold.
