Extended Activities for Pen Control
Once all of the peg exercises have been completed, it is also good practice to extend the exercises onto the Link and Lace board. This threading board is ideal for strengthening the muscles in the fingers and the motion of placing the laces into the board helps with the coordination required for producing cursive script.
