fine motor hearts lacing activity for preschool and kindergarten

I made a set of hearts that can be used for fine motor work. I printed them on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them. You will also need to have pony beads ... pipe cleaners ... and a hole puncher.

I punched a hole in each heart and attached a white pipe cleaner that I had cut down to four inches. I also set a bowl of pony beads out that were the same colors at the hearts.

The children laced the matching color beads on to the pipe cleaners attached to the hearts. If you did not want to use pipe cleaners you can just have the children place the pony beads on top of the hearts.

Coffee Filter Hearts Art Project For Preschool and Kindergarten

Our room is filled with all kinds of hearts!! The latest addition is our coffee filter hearts. We helped those who needed it cut heart shapes out of coffee filters and then they colored them with markers. We used just the regular crayola markers.

After the coffee filters were colored the children lightly sprayed water on the hearts which caused the colors to spread. I lined the table with wax paper before the children sprayed the hearts with water and put the wet hearts on paper towels to dry.

penguin heart number cards for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is Penguin Heart Number Cards for number recognition and review as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.

There are a variety of ways the number cards can be used. We love to use them for match and clip activities. The children find the two penguin cards with the same numbers and then clip them together with a large plastic paper clip or a clothes pin.

Another activity we use the cards for is sequencing. We glue craft sticks on to the back of the cards and the children put the cards in numerical order. This can be made into a matching activity by making two sets of the penguin cards.

For identification i attach the cards to book rings. one set for the ones the children can identify and another for the ones they are still working on.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday February 7th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Penguin Heart Alphabet Cards.

heart match and clip for preschool and kindergarten

The free membership printable this week is heart match and clip for visual discrimination and fine motor development. I printed two copies the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them and put them in a basket with mini clothes pins that I found at michaels craft store.

I've included hearts with various patterns and solid colors for the children to match. In this activity children find the two hearts that are the same and clip them together. Play continues until all hearts have been matched.

You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday 9th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added heart roll and cover.

tissue paper heart craft project for preschool and kindergarten

We made tissue paper hearts which is a really great craft project for working on fine motor and scissor skills. You will need the heart pattern ... tissue paper ... scissors ... glue ... and sequins.

The first step is to print the pattern on cardstock paper and cut it out. Next cut or tear tissue paper into small squares. Apply glue drops to the inside of the heart and press on the tissue paper squares.

If some of the tissue paper hangs over the heart you can cut off the extra. The last part is to apply glue drops on the tissue paper and press on the sequins. You do not have to add sequins but they are wonderful for fine motor development and also add a nice sparkle to the hearts.
