Whether it be Stringing, Poking, Pinching, Squishing, Wrapping, Scooping, Stacking, Sticking, Pealing, or Painting..there are so many fun ways to give those little fingers and hands a workout.
Having strong fine motor skills makes it easier for children to perform Self-help skills such as Dressing (tying shoes, buttoning, buckles, and zipping), as well as other functional tasks such as manipulating small pieces, cutting and writing.  Free Preschool Weaving CraftThis post contains affiliate links (What's that?) One of my favorite preschool picnic stories is The Bears' Picnic, by Stan and Jan Berenstain. In this delightful story the Bear's go on an adventure to find just the perfect picnic spot.
You can use this free printable The Bears' Picnic Story Time Activity to compliment this Berenstain Bears' classic story, (and your picnic lesson plans)! Inside you'll find suggestion conversation questions, vocabulary recommendations, book review, and a printable picnic blanket weaving craft. Paper weaving is a great hands on paper craft to build fine motor skills, and is also a fun way to explore patterns!  Make Your Own Preschool Lacing Cards Lacing Cards make great fine motor activities! Strong fine motor skills are important for our daily functioning. Preschoolers need strong fingers and hands to perform a variety of important activities from manipulating writing utensils to zipping jackets, so it’s essential that we give our preschoolers enough hands-on practice. Lacing takes a lot of effort for those tiny muscles, and it’s an excellent tool for strengthening dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and the critical pincer grasp.
Below you will find several low cost ways to make your own lacing cards! DIY Lacing cards are easy to make, and a simple way to create your own thematic fine motor activity that aligns with the different themes that your preschoolers will study throughout the year.
