A fine motor activity out on our work shelf right now is a collection of wind-up toys. Great small muscle work in the fingers to twist the "winder." Also lots of fun!!
Some were Christmas gifts, several I bought in the $1 at Michaels and I've also bought them for $1 at Walgreens before. Windups are loved by all ages--from little bitty babies that just watch em go and are surprised when monkey jumps and dinosaur runs....to toddlers and preschoolers who can set them on their feet and wind them on their own, as these kids gain increasing muscle control in their fingers.
