This has been great for her fine motor skills though I may make the slit in his mouth a bit bigger to avoid any possible frustration she may encounter.
To make this little game was pretty east and not so fancy as you can see the sides of my cereal box on the sides ( so feel free to obviously be as thoroughly detailed as you like with this to improve on it) But I started with an empty cereal box ( not guessing there) then I printed a bubble puppy ( I choose this one: http://mewarnai.us/images/12515-bubble-guppies-coloring-pages-hey-its-bubble-puppy.gif) and printed it at 122% size. I reinforces the back with cardboard that I traced in the same shape. Color the puppy and then glue the puppy to the cardboard reinforcement. Cover the cereal box with light blue construction paper. Then I cut a darker blue paper in zig-zag wavy strips. I glued the darker blue pieces on in different directions at times for a better wave pattern and used a glue stick for the construction paper to avoid wrinkles and buckling. Then I glued bubble puppy on to the box and reinforced him with two staples. The slit in his mouth I but with a narrow sharp knife. The letters I made were bigger than his mouth s the slit is wider than his actual mouth but that's ok. Then I made the letters with colored construction paper with upper and lower case corresponding letters. I'm working on adding shapes and will be doing words as well. on bone shaped paper. I will cover the letters with contact paper or tape to cause less friction going in his mouth and allow more longevity with game.
So far my little Miss seems to love it! I'll keep adding to it so it will be something she can use and stay interested in for a while
