Dot marker books work will with tools other than markers. I use them with mini stamps and stickers too.

I love scratch art. It seems to encourage holding the scratching tool with a functional pencil grasp - because it doesn't work well if you hold it any other way. It also works on strengthening your writing muscles because there is a fair bit of resistance when scratching the paper. I use stencils with this paper.

I seriously do love scratch art. It seems to encourage holding the scratching tool with a functional pencil grasp - because it doesn't work well if you hold it any other way. It also works on strengthening your writing muscles because there is a fair bit of resistance when scratching the paper. This one includes stencils.

These roller pens make a variety of decorative lines on paper. They are a great way to work on pencil grasp skills.

Dinosaur sticker dot art! Have you ever tried to peel a sticker off the backing without using your "pincher fingers"? It's really hard. Stickers motivate students to work on this skilll

Poke-in art is great for working on those pincher finger skills. Also a good make and take activity.

Foam stickers are easier for younger kids and kids with emerging fine motor skills.

For kids with higher skills foil activities are very engaging. Who doesn't like shiny art?

Engaging scissors skills activities!

Color rubbing is in the top 5 of my students' favorite activities. Put it on a clip board to keep it in place.

The perfect crayons for color rubbing because they have flat sides and they color well. Some of my students are hard on classroom materials, these are pretty much indestructible.
