Creative Activities to develop fine motor skills

Good morning everyone,

I will be posting some extra activities you could do with your younger children that are fun and will also develop their fine motor skills. If you do any of these activities then please send a response and let me know how you got on.

 

  1. Using a colander or sieve thread pipe cleaners or spaghetti through the holes and see how quickly you can do this.
  2. Thread spaghetti with beads or pasta shapes to make a pattern.
  3. Using play doh follow this fiddly fingers workout:
  • Roll your play doh into a ball using your hands and not a surface.
  • Using one hand flatten your play doh into a pizza shape onto the table.
  • Create a funny face on your play doh using your fingers to make patterns and by pinching to create different textures. Send pictures of your creation.
  • Roll you play doh on the table turning it back into a ball then begin to roll it like a sausage and make it as long as you can.
  • Now fold your play doh over to make a snail shape.

You can also use this Play Doh disco link to have fun:

 

Have fun and let me know how you got on.
