Twisty Cuffs is an activity that targets muscle relaxation and strength by encouraging children to use tactile pressure to release tension in various body parts. Starting with one wrist grasped by the opposite hand, children gently twist, push, and pull, gradually progressing to their hands, fingers, calves, ankles, and feet. These movements provide soothing tactile sensations, helping to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation. By focusing on the feedback from each body part, children also build body awareness and improve fine and gross motor skills.
