Fine Motor Practice with Acorns and Leaves
We do a lot of activities that work on fine motor skills. They’re not only important for pre-writing and writing skills, but also practice hand-eye coordination and prepare your toddlers and preschoolers for a whole array of everyday tasks.
The other day, I set up this Fine Motor Practice with Acorns and Leaves, and my kids used the materials in many different ways to thoroughly explore them and practice as many skills as possible 🙂
(N was 2Â years and 2 months old.
E was 5 years and 10 months old.)
I actually set up this quick and simple activity with only N in mind one weekend morning when we were up early and E was still sleeping {which is unusual, she wakes up early most weekends and tries to sleep in on school days 😉 }. But as soon as she woke up, she was immediately in the middle of things and enjoyed the activity just as much as N.
