You could also draw in a line to provide a visual prompt for kids to know exactly where a fold should be made. Accuracy was the key and sometimes a little help to notice cues like the edge of the page or the centre point. Folding - A difficult fine motor and bilateral coordination exercise for some kids.Here are some of the skills we worked on: We had a great time making these in OT last week. Use your thumb and index fingers on both hands to open and close the chatterbox. (If your child has small legible writing you may be able to fit in a question/joke in each small triangle.)ġ6 and 17. Open out each double triangle to write a question/joke. Try to have odd/even numbers to help later with playing.ġ5. Flip over your square and write a number in each triangle section. (We also wrote the colour name for those kids who needed a reference to spell the colours when playing.)ġ4. Your chatterbox is now ready to decorate!ġ3. Put your fingers in the "open square" parts of each quarter. (This will held with the movement of the chatterbox when playing.)ġ2. Fold along the horizontal middle line, open and fold along the vertical middle line, open. Bring each new corner into the middle, pressing down on the fold.ġ1. Bring each corner into the middle, pressing down on the fold.ĩ. Open out your square so you can see the two folded diagonal lines.ħ. Fold down another corner creating a triangle.Ħ. Open out your triangle so you can see your square.ĥ. Cut off the section under the triangle.Ĥ.
(You could also start with a square piece of paper and skip to step 4.)Ģ. Fold down one corner so your triangle lines up with the side.ģ.
