Rainbow Fine Motor Skills

fine motor activities for preschool and kindergarten
I made some rainbow mats that are great for fine motor activities. Depending how you will use them you can print them out on cardstock paper and laminate them or leave them unlaminated. ​

I've also created a color guide that the children can use to show the order of the rainbow colors. The do not have to use the guide and can just put what colors they want to use on the rainbow mats.

One of the ways we use the mat is with playdough. It's a good idea to laminated the mat so it can be re-used. The children roll out playdough and place it on the rainbow. They can also fill the clouds in.

We also do tissue paper scrunching by applying glue to the rainbow with a q-tip and then putting squares of scrunched tissue paper on. ​

We used the full color mat and put pony beads the same colors of the rainbow for a matching activity.

The children also did q-tip painting by dipping a q-tip in paint and pressing it on the rainbow. All of the ways we used the mats are excellent for fine motor development and the children really enjoyed these activities.

I printed these off for my afternoon students and we did q-tip painting with them. It was awesome. On Thursday we will do the pony bead. I really want to thank you for all that you provide to the early learning community!
