Bouncy balls. Gotta love em. They come in all sizes, and as their name suggests, boy are they bouncy.

I love this activity because you can be so concrete with you directions. Hold the blue ball with your finger and thumb. Now put the blue ball back in your hand and hold the red ball with your fingers. It’s motivating too because how can you NOT have fun when bouncy balls are involved. I can’t imagine it.

Items needed:
Bouncy balls

Skills worked on:
Fine motor
In-hand manipulation

Modifications:
• Use money/coins instead of balls
• Use marbles — marbles are easier than the bouncy balls because they are smoother and don’t stick together.
• Use money by feel. Move a certain coin to your palm and fingers without looking.
