Description

Use this resource to boost the fine motor opportunities in your classroom. Threading activities are such important fine motor activities for our young learners: · They help build small muscle strength as students grasp different sized beads – especially pincer grips with smaller beads – great for pencil grip! · They improve visual perceptual skills as students choose the beads they want to thread next. · They improve hand eye coordination as they thread the bead onto the string. · They also improve concentration and planning skills, as students plan and carry out the beading pattern they set out to complete. Add these benefits to a super cute and engaging resource like our new threading sun! Print and attach a short yellow pipe cleaner to each number around the sun and encourage students to add the correct number of beads to match the number shown. You might also like to challenge students to create a repeating pattern with their beads at the same time.
