Preschool Fine Motor Activities for your 3 year old child

Peg boards
Peg boards are wonderful for fine motor preschool activities. You can also do patterning and sequencing activities with them. They are normally available in different sizes for different ages.

Pencil grips
Working on your preschoolers pencil grip starts to happen about now. They need to hold the pencil in their preferred hand between thumb and fist finger resting on the third.

If this is a problem you can buy a grip at educational toys stores or purchase pencils that are triangular in shape as versus round. Pencil grip can be practiced on worksheets specially designed for tracing and tracking as well as colouring in pages.

Playdough
Playdough is still a wonderful preschool fine motor activity as it continues to build strength in the little muscles in the hands.

The playdough syringes can be used now with ease and this opens a whole lot more fun than just rolling and cutting.

Lacing cardboard outline
Your preschooler can now begin to lace more complicated shapes or you can buy some of the wrap ups for your preschooler to play with. These are great activities for car trips and it is good practice to keep one or two in your car.
