This calendar week is night-themed together with nosotros are reading Time for Bed past times Mem Fox. I am non a huge fan of bedtime together with prefer to remain upward belatedly checking out the moon/stars together with enjoying the dark! For our activities this calendar week nosotros are sharing iii nighttime star themed pre-writing activities to helps kids create rigid finger muscles!

Kids involve to create upward their mitt force through fine motor skills earlier they start writing. Three of my favorite tools for helping kids prepare mitt force are clothespins, safe bands, together with Q-tips. We're going to purpose all iii equally nosotros accept fun doing star-themed pre-writing activities.

STAR NUMBER CLIP ACTIVITY

Clothespins require a lot of force to opened upward together with unopen them. In monastic state to do our publish clip activity, firstly kids pulled the stickers off the sticker newspaper (a nifty fine motor exercise) together with and therefore they placed stickers on the border of the nighttime heaven dark circle together with on the clothepins. I wrote corresponding numbers on the circle together with clothespin stars.

The destination of the activity, 1 time it was laid up, was for the kids to uncovering the clip that matched each publish together with attach it to the nighttime heaven circle.

Both of my kids actually had to run at it to used their fingers versus using ii hands to opened upward the clothespins. It was therefore neat to meet how excited they got when they did it together with matched the right star amongst the right spot on the circle.

This action non alone plant on strengthening finger muscles, but also plant on matching numbers together with publish recognition. You could purpose this thought for a multifariousness of things, similar alphabet letters, names, shapes, colors, etc.

STAR GEO BOARD

I accept ever loved geo boards. For this star geo board all nosotros did was add together pollex tacks/push pins to the edges of the dark star, together with and therefore the kids used the safe bands to create designs on the star together with brand a border. I thought the kids would instruct bored of this action quickly, but they did this forever!

They moved the safe bands roughly inwards a multifariousness of ways together with crissed together with crossed across the star. They tried out unlike safe bands to decide which ones were the most stretchy or the to the lowest degree stretchy.

Geoboards are a nifty agency to instruct lilliputian fingers moving earlier handwriting, cutting, together with other activities!

Using Q-tips tin displace attention kids exercise their pincer grasp. The pincer grasp is when your shaver pinches amongst her pollex together with index finger. You tin displace uncovering to a greater extent than information together with ideas most pincer grasp HERE.

We made upward a even out spell nosotros were epitome together with each color represented a unlike affair inwards the nighttime heaven (monsters, aliens, shooting stars, unicorns, etc.).

The stars ended upward looking therefore colorful together with the kids actually enjoyed using the Q-tips.
