Materials
Strips of purple construction paper approximately an inch wide and 5-6 inches in length
Hole puncher
Directions
Place strips of purple paper in a basket or on a small tray with a hole puncher. Encourage your child to punch holes along a strip of paper, starting from the left side and moving across the paper towards the right end of the strip.
This simple fine motor activity is excellent for developing eye and hand coordination and strengthening the child’s fingers and hands. It also supports learning to manipulate scissors and will aid in naturally guiding your child to move from left to right across the paper, an important skill needed for reading.
