I encourage you to focus on art activites. THe Occupational therapists in our school system encourage the use of fat markers, crayons and brushes to encourage proper grip before moving to smaller items. Also tweezers and clothespin games help add strength as do many fine motor toys (mobilos, legos/duplos, flexi-blocks etc.
