We have been making this cute chameleon peg (clothespin) craft in OT sessions this week, working on cutting, manipulating and rolling paper. The peg is a great way to work on pincer grasp and hand strength whilst feeding the chameleon bugs (straws cut into pieces). They have even been used as a writing prompt. The chameleons have been a hit with all my kids! I downloaded the template from AHC arts and crafts (pasting them into Word and flipping them so I have them for left/right handers). http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/chameleons-artscraftsideaskids.html
