I made a sea shell lacing activity for letter recognition and fine motor. I printed them on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them and punched a hole in each letter card.

Children laces the cards in alphabetical order.  You can also put the cards on a book ring or attach them to craft sticks for a sequencing activity.

As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is also where I have added sea shell number lacing tags.

Here are July's number tracing calendars along and other July items including daily reports and calendar numbers.

I also made seashell themed days of the week and months the year strips that can be used for calendar headers ... pocket charts and matching.

I made a ladybug even and odd number sorting that the children really liked working on. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and and cut out the ladybugs and laminated them.  I then cut out the leaf patterns and labels and glue them on colored cardstock paper (you could also use construction paper or just leave them as is after printing).  

I set the leaf mats out along with the number ladybugs. Children sort the ladybugs by putting the even numbered ladybugs on the the even numbers leaf and the odd numbered ladybugs on the odd numbers leaf.

​As of 2022 this activity can be found in the member's section which is also where I have added a ladybug upper and lowercase sort.

Here is a butterfly alphabet punch for letter recognition and fine motor development. You can print the patterns on either cardstock or regular paper.  

I used a paper slicer to to cut the strips.  I purchased mine at Michael's craft store but they can be purchased online as well. I made the patterns in both black and white and color so you would have a choice of what to print.

In this activity children use a hole punch to punch the dots on under the letters on each strip that match the letter on the butterflies. You can also use mini or regular clothespins as well as large plastic paper clips.
