A Collection of Ideas to Improve Fine Motor Skills

Fine Motor Activities to Promote Handwriting Readiness from Walking by the Way

This week I’ve blogged about pre-writing activities. Here is a small compilation of ideas from around the web and links back to my posts as well.

Check out Amy’s blog post about Paint Bag Writing. We have one of these; Simon happily doodles with a q-tip and dances with his fingers on his paint bag writing tablet. 

I also love Amy’s Rainbow Writing idea. Simple and effective! You could use basic shapes or strokes before letters and numbers.

If your kiddo likes Play-doh (who doesn’t?), check out Jolanthe’s Playdough Mats.

This Chalkboard Painting idea from Forest Rose is genius. 

Don’t forget to print my pre-writing pages.

Try making some Simple Stencils

Your kiddo will love Sandbox Writing!

For even more before handwriting ideas, browse my Pinterest board.

    Found your blog on Preschool Corner on Home school creations!

    These are all such great ideas! My daughter would LOVE the sand writing. I just have to work up the courage to allow sand in the house! 😉

    Kalista,

    Sand in the house isn’t so bad. It’s easier to clean up than paint! 🙂 Ami
