This craft was designed to draw dots on each leg, corresponding to the number. Today I did a Zoom session with a boy that is currently fascinated by the planets..., so we modified it. He taught me the order beginning closest to the sun, plus many fascinating details about the planets. Handwriting and scissors use is hard for him but he was all in since we used an area of interest. #OT #childdirected #adapt #sharedengagement See more
