Valentine’s Day Fine Motor Activities

Even though January always seems to last 873 days, Valentine's Day still manages to sneak up on me. I don't actually mind the month of January, since my daughter and I both have birthdays in January and it's good to get back into a routine after the holidays.  But it still seems like a long month! I've been LOVING putting together these fine motor packs!  I just added my 14th pack ... Read More about Valentine’s Day Fine Motor Activities

Apple-Themed Fine Motor Activities

One of my favorite themes in preschool and kindergarten has always been apples.  There are so many different things you can do with apples that are hands-on: apple stamping, apple graphing, apple sorting, and apple tasting! I recently made a back-to-school fine motor pack and I had lots of fun making an apple-themed pack as well.  I kept some of the same types activities as the ...

Back-to-School Fine Motor Activities

As a former K-2 special education teacher and kindergarten teacher, I have always been passionate about fine motor work.  At the beginning of the school year in kindergarten, I always had some students who had acceptable fine motor skills.  I would also have some sweeties that were still refining their fine motor skills.  I knew that I would have to provide lots of opportunities for ...

These Amazon dry-erase pockets are my favorite. They're pretty cost-effective, and dry-erase markers erase really well from them. Here's a before and after I made to show how neatly they erase!

I also love these dry-erase markers that have built-in erasers. They're currently on sale!

These would make a great, easy-to-clean math center!
