Exercise For A Preschooler At Home
Help your young preschooler (3-4 year old) in hand strengthening, fine motor skills, name and shape recognition.
Materials: Assorted colored paper, plain white paper, hole puncher, small shallow container, non-toxic glue, scissors
- Cut colored paper in 2 inch by 2 inch squares.
- Have your child punch holes as close together as possible.
- Save the dots from the hole puncher.
- Take a white sheet of paper and write your child's name or make a shape.
- Have the child take the dots and place on the glue name or shape.
PUT IT UP & ADMIRE your CHILD's work!
This process can strengthen hands, making them ready for writing.
Placing the dots on the glue can help to sharpen the fine motor skills.

This is wonderful! You can even get punches that punch out shapes other than circles. What an enjoyable learning experience.
