Fine Motor Shape Punch

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.
