Try TTS: I have ordered some really chunky tweezers from there... I think they have arrived but haven't been in school today to open parcel.

I saw some children's practice chopsticks yesterday for the first time in a kitchen shop - i thought they would be good for fine motor skills

I use metal ones which allow very fine motor movements and tongs for the bigger movements!

Hi there,

We purchased our tweezers from TTS. They came in a pack of about 10 and are made of quite chunky plastic. TTS also sell a fine motor skills box which contains all different resources/activities to develop children's fine motor skills. We purchased one last year and we haven't stopped using it!!!

 

Hope this helps,

We got the chunky ones from TTS too - they're great - but also some more fine / precise ones from TTS science section to allow progression.
