When it comes to helping kids with handwriting needs, coming up with creative and engaging activities can significantly contribute to enhancing various skills.
That’s where therapeutic journaling comes into play, using a favorite toy or stuffed animals. We wanted to share the drawing journal as a tool to support a variety of skills!
When using a motivating and meaningful writing prompt with kids (like asking them to write about their favorite stuffed animals!), there are many skills that you can target:
– Letter formation
– Line use
You can target a variety of skills with the drawing prompt section of the book:
– Pencil control
– Hand eye coordination
– Erasing skills
– Coloring
– Visual motor skills
You can even ask students to add more details to their stuffed animals’ nighttime adventures with challenges the toys have and ask the students to come up with solutions.
