Pre-writing Shapes

Kids need to have mastered these shapes before they can successfully form their letters. Something to consider when we're expecting our children to write (particularly if your child's name has an X or Y!)

Sheep

A quick and super easy fine motor activity - scrunch up a large piece of paper with both hands then dab on glue and stick on cotton wool balls. Cut out a triangle shape for the head and stick on some goggly eyes then use a cut up straw for the legs. 
Promotes 2-handed coordination, manual dexterity, visual spatial relations and shape recognition. 
*Make it more difficult by using large tweezers to pick up the cotton wool balls to stick on! 🐑
