I am always looking for new things to keep my younger ones busy while I homeschool my 7 year old. Activities that they can learn, have fun and create at the same time. I stumbled across a great way to increase kids dexterity on a Pinterest board. I decided to try it with my 3 and 4 year old but I took it a step further.....
Materials:
Card Stock
Hole Puncher
3 Hole Puncher
Paper
Glue Sticks
Crayons
I had my 3 year old hole punch paper using the hand held hole puncher.
I didn't even realize he was making designs out of the holes!
For my 3 year old who had difficulty squeezing the hand held hole puncher I gave her the 3 hole puncher.
After they punched paper we took out all their colorful holes from what they punched and they made artwork with them.
This is my 3 year old's artwork.
This is my 4 year old's artwork which he says is a shrimp.

What a creative and unique idea. Wouldn't have thought of it!
ReplyDeleteI love your creative ideas! This is great and inexpensive too!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! The tiny pieces from the hole punch is a bit like confetti or glitter.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to keep little ones busy and help with strengthening their hand muscles! When I taught kindergarten, this is an activity I would often use in centers and it really made a difference when it came to children holding pencils/writing utensils appropriately! Pinning!
ReplyDeleteCute ideas!
