Film canisters may be used to create easy hold grips for many items. They are available free from any store that does film processing.

Very carefully, screw in wooden dowels, or glue empty thread spools to the top of puzzle pieces to assist children in lifting the pieces on and off the base.

Attach a ring, large bead, or dowel to the end of the pull-string so it is easier to grasp.

Gripping objects that have small diameter handles, like pens, spoons, toothbrushes can be difficult for people with fine motor disabilities. But, there are many ways you can adapt those items so they can be used... and you probably have the items you need to adapt the objects in your home right now. Here are some objects that you can use to fatten up a device handle and make it easier to hold:

• 35 mm film container
•  prescription bottle
• tennis ball
• whiffle golf ball
• tubular foam pipe insulation
• bicycle handle grip
