Fine Motor strength is so important to develop in order to prepare students to write. We have a lot of fun fine motor activities and centers that we use. We find different materials to cut.
We use a vertical surface to draw, color and paint. For this activity, we painted blueberries with clothespins and blue pom poms.
Mini erasers can be used for many things such as tracing letters and sorting.
Giant pushpins can be used with supervision to make our names or letters, numerals and shapes.
Q-tips make a fun paintbrush that uses a different hand motion then swiping.
Many literacy and math games also use fine motor skills like this pie sorting game. We also practice fingerplays and draw in our journals to strengthen our fingers to get ready for kindergarten.
