When I was 16 my mom was ill at Christmas, so on Christmas Eve I took on the task of playing Santa – getting the presents under the tree and filling the Christmas stockings. It was probably 10:30 at night on Christmas Eve when I realized that Mom had gotten stocking stuffers for my sister and I, but the boy friendly stocking stuffers for my brother were sadly very few. This was before 24 hour Walmarts and my brother ended up with a lot of candy from the gas station because that was all I could find. So my advice, plan ahead.

A list of tried and true toy recommendations that this paediatric Occupational Therapist uses in practice to support the development of pincer grip. I've tried to include various resources for different age ranges and different interests. Those with “Older” or “Younger” in the title are specifically for older/younger learners, and those that don't specify are appropriate for a wider age range. Some of these items are designed specifically for developing fine motor skills, and others are regular household items or games that can also be used to build on pincer grasp. If you have any questions about how to use any of the resources, please let me know and I'd be happy to help out!
