 \, cotton balls\, cotton swabs\, tissue paper</p>\n<p><strong>*Come to the
  Youth Services Reference Desk to pick up a kit with materials (while supp

 p>\n<p><strong>Why:</strong> This tactile project is great for fine motor 
 skills\, creativity\, and sensory exploration! When children use their fin
 gers to pinch\, pull apart\, pick up\, and place items on the sticky paper
  they are exercising the small muscles in their hands. These are the muscl
 es needed to write! Plus\, what is more fun than a blank canvas? Here is a
 n activity where children get to exercise their choice and creativity to m
 ake something unique.</p>\n<p><strong>Extra ideas:</strong>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p
 >*Try to describe all of the textures. How does the paper feel? How about 
 the cotton balls? This is a great way to expand your vocabulary!<br />*Go 
 for a walk and add some nature objects to your sticky paper.<br />*Save th
 e wax paper backing and use it for some indoor "ice" skating! Just tape th
 e leftover wax paper around your child's foot\, turn on some music\, and s
 tart sliding around on a carpeted area or a rug.<br />*Read <em>Stuck</em>
  by Oliver Jeffers.<br />*Draw a picture or letter with marker on the non-
 sticky side. Ask your child to fill in the shape or trace the line with co
 tton balls.</p>\n<p><strong>I would love to see you busy playing! Please s
