It is always fun to sneak in some fine motor skills to any learning activity. We have a fun way to incorporate Valentine’s Day into a fun fine motor peg board activity. There are so many fine motor skills that can be learnt from working with peg boards.

 

This toddler activity incorporates eye-hand coordination, pincer grip for pre-writing exercise and some cutting.  So get some free occupational therapy and a few hugs!

  

SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED:

  • 1 sheet of cardstock paper
  • Pair of scissors
  • Crayon/pencil/marker
  • Pegboard and Pegs (any of our sets will work with this activity)
