Fine Motor JournalsThis week, we have a really fun "space rock" alphabet letter activity that could absolutely be done in your fine motor journal. Please check that out in our weekly activity menu. Additionally, I really love this constellation inspired fine motor practice. It includes using stickers, which is a great fine motor focus, in addition to using a writing tool for making some precise lines. For this one, you can allow your child to peel and stick their star stickers (or circle stickers) all over their paper. Then they will draw their lines to connect and create a unique constellation. Don't have stickers? Allow your child to create hole punch circles using a hole puncher and then a glue stick to glue those onto their paper....this uses equally precise fine motor skills!

Fine Motor JournalsLast post, I introduced fine motor journals. I wanted to continue offering some ideas to use in your journals. These are a couple of things that can be easily adjusted to work in a journal! Feel free to find more on your own if your child is enjoying doing these! 1. Tear Art Stoplight: Trace the shape of the stoplight in your child's journal - make it as big as it can fit on a single page. Trace the three circles in the corresponding colors so that your child can match their colored paper to the correct circle. Provide the colored paper and teach your child how to tear it into small pieces. They can then glue their pieces into the corresponding colored circles. Allow to dry before closing the journal! 2. Tracing Lines: Use either clipart of cars, or draw simple cars on the left side of a blank page in your child's journal. Using the example provided, create dotted zig-zag, curved, and looped lines. Let your child use a marker, crayon, or pencil to trace the lines. Activity Menu for this week:
