Spider tracing
Halloween tracing
Let your child get creative making their small creature, SMALL is the
key! It should fit onto the lines AND it requires fine motor skills!
Its a win win!!
Slip the sheet and critter into a sheet protector (this is important
to make the creature glide) and use a magnet on the back side of the
sheet protector to guide your creature across the lines using the
dominant hand to guide and the non-dominant hand to hold the sheet.
Easy Peasy!
With this activity, children are challenged to coordinate hand and/or
arm movement as they use a magnet to glide Halloween “creatures” along
a path without the view of their own hand, this activity requires
internal awareness! This also incorporates bilateral movement and
visual scanning, all of which are beneficial to development!
