3 Christmas Fine Motor Activities For Preschoolers

Looking for a few Christmas fine motor activities for preschoolers or kindergartners? Well, today is the day for you!

Last week I shared a few Christmas fine motor skills activities that included mazes as well as dot to dots and tracing. Today will be a bit different.

Welcome to Day 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas Activities and Christmas Worksheets! Throughout this series, I will be sharing ideas and resources to help you teach your kids through the Christmas season. I know that homeschooling with Christmas drawing near can seem almost impossible and I am here to make this stress-free.

So far I have shared:

Just remember that all you have to do in addition is to fill in the subject gaps. When I share a math printable, you then add something grammar/spelling/writing related.

The Different Sections of the CHRISTMAS FINE MOTOR ACTIVITIES for preschoolers

As I said earlier, I was very deliberate in not repeating any of the activities from the Christmas Fine Motor Skills Activities I shared recently. With that in mind, let me tell you what is in this pack. 🙂

Section 1: Lacing Cards

This section has 3 lacing cards for you to print and cut out for your kids. A few things to keep in mind:

Try to print on cardstock
If you have no cardstock, then simply laminate the page once its printed. If all else fails, simply tape over the images with clear tape.
If you have no lace on have for the lacing, grab a piece of yarn or even twine and tape one end to make it sturdy.

Section 2: Pattern Block Cards

My kids LOVED pattern blocks when they were younger. All you need for this activity is a set of pattern blocks. I have linked a set below.

Learning Resources Wooden Pattern Blocks, Early Math Concepts, Set of 250, Ages 3+ Learning Resources Plastic Pattern Blocks, Math Games for Kindergarten, Homeschool, Shape Recognition, Early Math Skills, Set of 250, Ages 4+

Simply have your child pick one pattern ( each page has 4) and have them build it either on the mat provided or on the floor.

If you feel that they need a bit more of a challenge then there is an advanced sheet with 2 uncolored patterns. Have them try to figure out which blocks are needed to make that pattern.

There is also an almost blank sheet with no lines inside, Only give your kiddo this one if you think they can handle it.

Section 3: Trace the Image

The last activity in these fine motor activities for preschoolers (or kindergartners) is tracing. Instead of tracing along random lines, they will be tracing along the lines to make images.

Once they are done tracing, have them either color or paint their images vertically to strengthen that pencil grip.

Saving Paper and Resources for the Christmas Fine Motor Activities for Preschoolers

I am the first to admit that I LOVE paper- the brighter and heavier it is the better. If you would love to save paper, simply print the pages and either:

laminate the pages
slip the pages into protective sheets

Doing this allows your kids to reuse the sheets and provides ample practice. Simply hand them a few dry erase markers or dry erase crayons. I have also found that using rubbing alcohol cleans the pages quite nicely.

I have added a list of the paper and dry erase markers that my kids love to use.

Dry Erase Markers, Ohuhu 60 Pack 15 Assorted Colors Low-Odor Dual Tips Dry Erase Window Marker Pens For Writing on White boards, Dry-Erase Boards, Kids & School, Calendar, Refrigerator Crayola Washable Dry Erase Crayons w/E-Z Erase Cloth, 8/Box (CYO985202)
