Here's another great tool for fine motor skills and handwriting! As an occupational therapist, we LOVE to use heavy work in the hands as a warm-up to handwriting tasks. Proprioceptive input "wakes up" the hands so the intrinsics are ready for writing tasks. It is also a great strengthening and resistive coordination tool.
