Description
Have you always wanted amazing fine motor activities to use in your classroom but didn’t know where to start? This product is designed for you to create 36 awesome fine motor kits to use for morning work, rotations, free choice or support at home. Once prepped, these are simple to put out for the children to work on independently. There are plenty of activities to give you choice to use throughout the year & increase the difficulty as needed. They are hands-on, engaging and cater for different learning types!
Absolutely perfect for junior years classrooms where fine motor development is so important. These would also work well for older students for play-based strengthening of the muscles… older students love coming to my class to play with these with my kids!
When setting these up in my classroom, I asked for donations of the equipment needed (I have included an editable letter for you to send home). I bought a heap of plastic containers & document wallets and then printed the task cards and put them on as instruction cards. I made multiple kits of each activity to allow the children choice and then had some to send home with children who needed extra support (I have included an editable letter & sign out sheet if you wish to do this). Even if you don’t want to ask for donations or know that this will take a little while to set up, you can use this product straight away with the 100+ printables that are included!
These may take some time at the beginning to set up all the kits but once done they will last. Mine are still going strong after 3 years being used every day! (a few little bits replaced or fixed but nothing major)
