Stringing and lacing, cutting activities, play doh. Going to try some of the activities others have mentioned!Pegboards (both DIY and store-bought versions), are a fantastic way to work on bilateral coordination in play and in developing visual motor skills and coordination. I use old game pieces, like Battleship and The Game of Life and the students place the tiny tokens into the ship or car. Such a great fine motor and eye hand coordination activity while using both hands. Working on bilateral coordination in play is a means and a strategy for building this essential skill. So, why is bilateral coordination so important? And what exactly does bilateral coordination mean? DIY Bilateral Coordination Toys Cutting, ‘feed’ a tennis ball with a slit cut into it for a mouth, stringing beads, opening containers (hide fun things inside!) 🙂 Most recently my kids liked placing matching beads on a pipe cleaner tree. The tree wasn’t stable enough so it required a second hand to stabilize while they placed beads with dominant hand. Also love a pop tube for bilateral hand work. Even my kids who don’t like loud sounds will engage with a pop tube!

My kids and I love playing with dough and catching/throwing balls and ballons with both hands. Also, it is pretty fun stringing beads, macaroni and whatever really fits the string! Zoom ball and lacing old Christmas cards that I have laminated and hole punched are 2 of my favourites. Huge issue in my school is using two hands to complete tasks! These are all great! Love these! So cute and my students would be so engaged.

i love doing crafts specifically those involving cutting, glueing and placing small objects working on symmetrical and asymmetrical bilateral movements ! Bilateral coordination toys are an occupational therapy intervention that helps children develop essential skills in bilateral integration. Toys that use both hands in a coordinated manner help children with bilateral coordination, crossing midline, and using both hands in tasks. These are essential skills that allow for an integration of both sides of the body, but more than that, bilateral coordination tells us that the brain is communicating effectively and sharing information between sides of the brain.

Placing the paper on a wall so the student has to hold it up with one hand while using the other to write or draw.My son loves Lego so I like to encourage different activities that also incorporate learning such as building a bridge one of his toys can be the troll under, creating the first letter of his name, building a marble maze or a water chase. Both of my kids love stringing beads from my jewelry making supplies; and my daughter enjoys play dough so I like to encourage its use with her various role play games. Simon says using Brain Gym activities! The kids don’t even know they are exercising and working their brains! I like making put in tasks using smaller containers they have to hold the container while putting in different sized holes. Holding a wooden spoon and putting on pool noodles for lower level stringing. For children with difficulty in crossing midline, or using integrated bilateral skills, using toys in play is an effective way to work on and nurture this skill. We string beads, puzzles and play doh almost daily. The kids really enjoy it and some learned how to use these tools for the first time in class.
