Fine Motor Activities

Help me give my students activities to help strengthen their hand muscles and fine motor skills

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jenks's classroom raised $333

My Project

Fine motor skills are so important in PreK and very essential as they grow. We take a lot of time throughout our year to teach these skills so that students can begin writing as well as have the ability to complete many other tasks. Most of our students come into our program not being exposed to many fine motor materials including crayons and play doh, so we spend a lot of time building these skills. The materials in this project will help my students practice these skills in such a fun way. Between the games, the play doh/tools and the different writing books that are fun and reusable, my students will be learning so much as they play.
