Hand Strengthening Through Everyday Play
There are lots of easy ways to strengthen the hands through simple everyday play! Try working these activities into kids’ everyday play routines!
Wheelbarrow Walks: Have the child place her hands on the floor while you or another child holds his/her feet. See how far he/she can walk on her hands.
Animal Walks: Walk like a crab, bear, donkey or inchworm to promote more weight bearing through the hands!
Tug of War: Assign teams and then see whose hands can hold on the longest and pull the hardest!
Cartwheels: Another fun idea for promoting weight bearing in the hands.
Play Dough, Putty, or Slime: Squishing, pinching, rolling, squeezing, smushing – all great for building muscles in the hands! Putty can be purchased in different levels of resistance to make the challenge harder.
Mr. Potato Head: The pieces of this toy are big and easy to grasp and the repetition of changing the faces over and over again is great for strengthening!
Chores:Try throwing laundry down the chute or into the washing machine/dryer, washing the car, washing floors/tables/windows, shoveling snow, raking leaves, taking out the garbage.
Office Play: Kids love playing with “grown up” materials. Squeezing a stapler (with supervision), folding paper, using paperclips are all fun hand strengthening activities.
Wind Up Toys: Wind up toys are super fun and it takes some strong fingers to turn that tiny dial to achieve the fast moving fun!
Bath Toys: Fill up an old shampoo bottle and squeeze it empty. Or try a set of fun water squeeze toys to encourage imaginative play as they squirt away!
Pop Beads: Kids love to pop together necklaces, bracelets and rings and there are different sizes to appeal to all ability levels.
Tongs or Tweezers: Have the child pick up objects from a sensory bin, sort craft pom poms, or pick up small blocks and stack them using a pair of tweezers!
Squeeze Balls/Stress Balls: Kids can squeeze these squishable balls as hard as they can for some hand strengthening fun!
Squigz: Pushing and pulling these “fun little suckers” is great hand strengthening fun!
Animal Poppers: When little hands squeeze the animal’s belly, it launches soft, ping pong sized balls across the room! The harder they are squeezed, the bigger the launch!
