Summary:

We are enjoying the warmer weather and everything turning green again! With the warmer temperatures comes rain of course, so we are finding fun ways to celebrate Spring inside!

 Spring and gardening are two of my favorite themes to build a lesson around! This Flower Garden Fine Motor Play activity is a perfect way to encourage exploration through learning!

Summary:

Let the name puzzle fun continue! If you have read How Wee Learn for any length of time, you have likely seen one of our name puzzles. When I taught Kindergarten I absolutely loved using name puzzles, as they incorporate so many different learning skills and can be simply adjusted to fit any learning level.

Fine motor skills, cutting skills, literacy skills, comparing and contrasting skills, matching skills, and gluing skills too! I’m talking a BIG bang for your buck!

Summary:

This pollen transfer activity works well with both toddlers and preschoolers and is perfect for giving those fine motor skills a little extra practice. Before you try this activity, find and read a couple of books about bees and how pollination helps plants grow.

This simple but useful activity can also be used as another opportunity to practice counting skills as you move the “pollen” from the flower into the honeycomb. This is just adorable. Make sure to record it or take photos, they will be priceless.

Summary:

These spring fine motor mats use pom poms to give your kids tons of fine motor practice! They would be perfect for your spring preschool centers or kindergarten fine motor stations. If your kids could use some extra fine motor practice, these spring fine motor mats will be perfect for you.

They require no-prep, so all you need to do is print and slip into write and wipe pockets. Your kids will love making fun pictures with pom poms this spring. And while they are doing so, they will be strengthening those important fine motor muscles.

Summary:

This is a preschool activity for developing color recognition and fine motor skills.
