Fine Motor Skills

Help me give my students items to help their small hands with fine motor skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Zielinski's classroom raised $167

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help give my four and five-year olds items to help build their fine motor skills. Using pop its, blowing bubbles, and building puzzles all help little ones with strengthening their hand muscles. By having these items for every day use, my students will learn how to hold their pencils stronger, which intern will help them. Learn how to write better.

These tools also help them with using a spoon or fork to eat,using scissors to cut paper, and using crayons to trace their names.

Students don’t realize when they’re having fun that they’re also strengthening the muscles in their hands.
