Fine Motor Building Skills Activities

Help me give my students receive fine motor activities for hand muscle growth!

Mrs. Ainsworth Patriot Elementary School
Colorado Springs, CO Grades PreK-2

My Project

The fine motor building skills materials will help my student strengthen their hand muscles while they are still learning and having fun! Without proper muscle development in the hands students struggle with demanding tasks such as writing. Writing is required in every subject and is a tasking skill for some of my students who have weak muscles. These activities will help strengthen their hand muscles while building on fine motor skills at the same time. All of which will help them in the future with harder tasks that will be required of them later in their academic years.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
