Fine Motor: Doggies on a Leash

You will need:

PDF Numbered Dogs
Paper clips
Hole puncher

The Activity:

Learn to count while working on in-hand manipulation and motor planning skills. Children count paper clips then need to figure out how to attach them to each other by hooking them on. This can be challenging but with practice, they get to motor plan correctly and work on dexterity.

Goals:

By linking paper clips to each other, children work on counting skills as well as fine motor skills/ dexterity.
