[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 709460, member: 11832"] Kim, I'm glad your floppy fish is writing for you. One trick that works for the kids at school is to break the tasks they don't like into short segments. For example: floppy fish write for 10 minutes and then you can do this other thing that you like much better. Does he like building with Legos? That's good for building the muscles in his fingers. So is playdough. It's great for building up finger muscles. I used to let my kids use it in the kitchen or outside on the picnic table. You can make your own and save money. Playdough Add 4 teaspoons of cream of tartar to 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Set aside. Heat on medium 2 cups of water and 2 Tablespoons of baby oil in a large pot. Dissolve 1 cup of salt into the water. Add food coloring to the water as desired. (A few teaspoons will yield brighter colored dough). Add the flour mixture to the water. Cook on medium, stirring constantly. Playdough is finished when it forms a large ball of dough. Turn it onto a countertop or cutting board and let it cool. When it is cool enough to knead, rub a bit of baby oil onto your hands before kneading. Knead until it is smooth. You can divide it into smaller balls and store in zippered plastic bags labeled with each child's name. As long as it is in a sealed container, it will stay fresh for months. [/QUOTE]
