I made number trace and count cards for the children to work on math and fine motor skills. I printed the cards on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.
We rolled out playdough into long snake shapes and used it to trace the numbers on the cards.
We then placed buttons on top of the black dots counting each one. You can download the patterns for this activity below:

The free membership printable this week is Number Punch or Clip for number recognition and and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them. You can also print them on regular paper.
The patterns come in both black and white as well as color so you have a choice of what to print. In this activity children punch the black dot that is under each matching number. You can also clip the dots with clothespins or paper clips.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday April 15th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Alphabet Punch or Cover.

I made shape punching strips for the children to work on shape identification and fine motor skills. I printed them on cardstock paper but you can also use regular paper.
In this activity children punch a hole on the black dot underneath the matching shapes on each strip.
You can also clip the the matching shapes by using clothespins or large plastic paper clips on the black dots.
Another way to use the shape punch strips is to attach hot and cold dots on the black circles for use with a hot dots pen. I purchased mine from amazon but they are made by learning resources so you may be able to get them from their site as well.
You can grab the patterns below and see a video of all three ways we use our shape punch strips.

The free membership printable this week is Train Alphabet Pick and Cover for letter recognition and and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.
I set the train mat out with the letter squares and glass beads. Children picked a letter square and covered the same letter on the mat with a bead. You can also use pom poms ... playdough ... or buttons. I have included both upper and lowercase letters.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday March 31st ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Train Number Pick and Cover.

We made tissue paper scrunch eggs for our fine motor project this week. I printed the pattern on cardstock and cut the egg out. I cut various colors of tissue paper into long strips and the children cut them into small squares.
The children applied glue drops to the egg and then scrunched up pieces of tissue paper and pressed them on to the egg.
This project is wonderful for fine motor development because the children have to separate the tissue paper squares ... scrunch them ... and then press them on to the glue drops. You can download the egg pattern for this project below:

I made an Easter egg color clip activity for color recognition and fine motor development. I printed the cards on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.
Children pick a card and clip a clothespin to the color circle that matches the color of the egg. Play continues until all cards have been clipped. You can download the patterns below:
