Simple Fine-Motor Activity for Preschoolers

• 11 years ago

Here’s a simple fine-motor activity for preschoolers that is easy to set up, and develops important “pincher grasp” muscles. All you need is a basket and some clothes pins!

Invite your child to attach the clothes pins to the outside of the basket!

Other options:

• Count the clothes pins as your child attaches them to the outside of the basket.
• Number each clothes pin, then invite your child to sort and attach them in order.
• Use colored clothes pins to create patterns and invite your child to extend the pattern around the basket.
