First, we’ll take a closer look to see what’s inside the pack! Next, you’ll get to see MORE Christmas Activities including a FREE MINI PACK! .  Finally, we’ll see who these activities are for!

THIS CHRISTMAS FINE MOTOR ACTIVITIES PACK INCLUDES:

• Instruction Sheet on How to complete each activity along as well as some variations!
• 2 Lacing Cards: Lacing is a great way to work on two handed skills also known as a bilateral hand activity! In addition to that, the child will also work on using a pincer grasp on the string, arm and finger strength to pull it through the hole, and coordination to line up the string to the hole.  A thicker string will be easier.  You can make it more difficult by progressing to a thinner string!
• 2 Hole Punching Cards:  Hole punching requires coordination and strength!  For little hands, I like to use these mini punchers! They are perfect for working on a 3 point chuck and lateral pinch.
• Manipulative Sheet:  This printable has 15 circles on it.  Anything like buttons, pennies, or stickers, can be used! The smaller the buttons, the bigger the challenge! Spread the manipulatives around on the table and you can also address other skills like scanning and crossing midline!
• Play dough mat: First, this Christmas mat helps work on finger and hand strength! Next, visual perception skills come into play as the child finishes the tree like the picture.  Lastly, kids pinch off small pieces of play dough, roll them into balls, and smash them on the 10 small circles working on more coordination and strength!
• Matching Sheets: The next couple of printables work on matching. Children can use crayons or markers to connect the pictures. Place the paper on a cork board. Rubber bands and thumbtacks can also be used OR laminate the sheets and use Wikki Stix!
• Finally, we have a few ways to work on using tongs (here are tongs I tend to use: Gator Grabbers and Strawberry Huller) to help work on scissor skills. Children can use clothespins, too! All themed fine motor activities can use the same clothespins! In other words, prep once and use over and over! Regular sized clothespins and mini both clothespins work!
