Subject: fine motor activities

What a great selection of ideas to try! Here is one more: I teach Pre-K Special Education and my kids love folder games. I have made several where they roll a die and place buttons on squares (or take them off) until the board is empty or full, as the case may be. Buttons are great fine-motor builders, but to take this one step further, I cut a slot in the top of a small plastic container. This way, when removing the buttons from the board, they have to put them in the slot using that pincer grasp. (This is also a great activity for building social skills, turn-taking, math skills, etc!)
