Fine Motor Skills with Stickers

Do you remember the excitement in your childhood years when you received a brand new pack of stickers? Or, maybe your teacher put a memorable sticker on an A+ test?!! Just think of the joy your preschooler will get when they find out today it’s fine motor skills with stickers!

STICKER ACTIVITY BUNDLE

Stickers are not just fun for kids — moms and teachers alike will love how they benefit their precocious preschoolers. They keep little ones busy, promote fine motor skills, concentration, creativity, and best of all — tons of fabulous fun! Here are some easy fine motor skill tasks including sticker worksheets, sticker activities, and more!

Sticker Worksheets

The challenge as preschool mothers and teachers is keeping kids busy while building new skill sets. It’s easy to find free preschool worksheets that include sticker activities — plus they’re simple, yet very effective and creative!

As busy moms and teachers, we need all the help we can get in preparing our preschoolers for the next steps in learning. That’s why these fine motor sticker worksheets are a great way to get them started!

And, I have good news! You’ll find plenty of free sticker worksheets below to help with concentration, critical thinking, fine motor, and dexterity. Let’s get started!

Sticker Mazes

Sticker Mazes are so much fun for kids — plus, they play a huge role in learning concentration and problem-solving skills. Grab your choice of stickers as your child leads each piece in the right direction.

As your little leader places each sticker in the right spot, see if he or she can create a pattern of rainbow colors. Then, ask them to find out how many stickers did it take to get to the finish line!

Looking for more free mazes to challenge your kids’ brains? Try our Brainy Maze website for a TON of FREE and motivating problem-solving resources!

Stickers on a Line

Writing a straight line with numbers is an easy way to build your kid’s math counting and practice focusing skills. Simply ask your student to add exactly 10 stickers in a straight line using the sticker resource below. Our Sticker Number worksheet allows your child to learn counting, practice concentration, and strengthen hands eye coordination.

Sticker Names and Sticker Letters

Another innovative way to utilize the versatility of stickers is by writing your student’s name. Make it large enough for stickers to line up directly on each letter. They can also use the letters in their name to guide them — encourage them to place small stickers in the right spot.

And, of course, this requires concentration and fine motor practice while reinforcing letter and name identification. See above for a great example on how to make this activity fun and effective with sticker names and sticker letters!

Sticker Patterns

Identifying patterns with preschoolers is fundamental to math concepts. It’s an important key to learning by helping children observe and make predictions. Plus, understanding patterns prepares your child for learning more complex math concepts.

Using sticker activities for encouraging patterns is another easy idea to incorporate with just a few steps. Simply grab some star stickers (or any variety of colored stickers) and show them a pattern with colors. See above Patterns with Stickers image for some helpful and creative ideas.

Sticker Shapes and Sticker Tracing

Smily face stickers are perfect for this next sticker printable — Sticker Shapes Worksheets! There are 3 shapes: circle, triangle, and square. Your student will use a color for each shape and fill it in with the right amount of stickers.

Sticker Tracing

Then, your student can grab a writing utensil (like a crayon, marker or colored pencil) to practice his pre-writing skills. Your child can start tracing each of the 3 shapes using an assortment of colors. Or, consider asking your child to trace the stickers for extra practice with fine motor skills.

Below you’ll find 2 handy free sticker shape worksheets that include 3 common shapes (circle, triangle, square) and more unique shape sizes (rhombus, rectangle, oval).

Each shape worksheet provides an exciting challenge of learning new shapes, refining their prewriting skills, building concentration, and developing hand-eye coordination.

Sticker Graphs

This is a really fun sticker printable your kids will love! It may be a bit challenging for your child but with a little guidance, it will give them a great head start. It encourages confidence, helps them identify patterns, and builds critical thinking skills.

Choose 7 different types of smaller stickers (colors or pictures). Add them to the bottom of the “graph” area. Then, randomly add those same types of stickers in the “count” section (up to 5 stickers).

Lastly, ask your child to look in the count section, and fill in each box. Try using a colored crayon that represents each sticker your student finds. Consider asking your child to draw with a different color when marking each type of sticker.

Sticker Games

This sticker game ‘Seek and Find with Stickers‘ needs a little help from moms and teachers. It’s a little like BINGO, just call out a lower case or upper case letter, and as your child finds it, they place a sticker carefully in the respective circle. Or, if you’re busy, fill up a jar or container of pre-made letters and ask your child to choose one at a time. Then, he will place the star or small sticker in the right place.

Another creative way for moms to get involved in using this preschool sticker worksheet for the game of ‘I SPY’. Simply state “I SPY with my little eye…a Big Letter A”. And, continue the process until your child is finished with a square pattern.

Sticker ABCs

You’ll certainly want to download this Sticker Letter A sheet — it’s a versatile way to gain letter-writing practice, fine motor development, and focus skills. See this wonderful sticker worksheet below! Print the entire Alphabet of Sticker Worksheets Here.

Your students will first practice writing Letter A on top of the worksheet. Then, ask them to grab circle-shaped stickers and build a Big Letter A. How many stickers does it take to make an upper case A?!!! What words also start with Letter A besides Alligator?

Peeling Stickers

Remember, peeling and re-peeling stickers require strength in fingers so continue to encourage your child if he/she tends to take them off. For ease of peeling stickers, try a protective sheet for a clean pull off.

Alternatively, there are many fantastic sets of reusable stickers and sticker mats you can purchase from you local educational supply store. A favorite of mine are these Melissa and Doug Peel & Stick Habitat Scenes. Not only are they great for small motor control, but the content is educational as well and your little one will be learning animal science while having fun!

There are so many ingenious ways to utilize stickers to their fullest potential. Don’t miss out on these wonderful opportunities! If you need stickers, buy this affordable pack of stickers on Amazon. It’s a huge assortment of stickers that is perfect for homeschool moms and classroom teachers!

Weather Printables for Preschoolers

Our free weather printables are ready to go! You can simply print them out and hand students some crayons and you’re all set. However, here are some variations you might want to try.

First, if you want to reuse the pages, simply slide them into a page protector and provide students with dry-erase markers. This is a great option if you are wanting to use them with multiple children, or in a classroom setting.

Second, you might have students trace the line with markers and then use lighter crayons or colored pencils to completely color in the picture. This makes for a pretty effect when all colored in.

Third, if you have a student who really wants to build fine motor skills, you can use glitter glue to complete the pictures. This is another great way to work those small motor muscles and control. This is much more challenging, so be sure your student is ready for this type of activity first. I found it difficult, so it might be better for older students to build grip.

Free Printable Weather Chart

Shape Crafts For Preschoolers

Shapes worksheets are brilliant teaching tools for your preschoolers to build from the basics. Tracing, coloring, and cutting shapes helps them identify geometric shapes, practice fine motor skills, and even develop concentration skills. Plus, having handy shape crafts for preschoolers will generate so much fun and learning! Learning shapes can be an important skill to cover in Preschool.

Once students have a grasp on the basic shapes, you can introduce them to the idea of shapes-in-shapes! Explain, that sometimes we can find shapes hidden inside other shapes, depending on the way we cut them apart. For example, cutting a triangle horizontally creates a smaller triangle and a trapezoid. (See Shapes Activity Below)

Our FREE Cut & Paste Shape Worksheets can be used to show shape qualities and to create new picture. Now, before we get to our adorable crafts, let’s talk about the many other benefits to teaching shapes for preschoolers. Did you know that it helps children build an understanding of two-dimensional structures? In addition, they’ll easily recognize the different features of common shapes and develop problem-solving skills! In other words, recognizing and manipulating shapes is a very important skill to have!

Shape Crafts for Preschoolers: Instructions

First, you’ll want to grab these on-hand supplies:

  • Cardstock Paper (variety of colors including white)
  • Markers

  • Glue (stick or bottle)

Next, download your FREE shape craft worksheets listed below and print each type of shape worksheet. (HINT: Try a different colored paper for each shape). Take time to look at each shape and the shapes found inside the shape. Help children identify any shapes they have difficulty naming. Then, instruct children to cut out all of the shapes according to the instructions. Don’t forget to cut out the drawing in the top right-hand corner as a helper for each activity! This helper is intended to inspire children of things they can make with the individual shapes. They don’t have to make these specific pictures.

If you are looking for a simple, low-prep program to teach your student about shapes, be sure to check out this video of our Shape of the Week Curriculum.

Why Tracing is Important

There are so many benefits to tracing for young kids. These practical printables for shapes like triangles, octagons, hexagons, circles and more can help develop fine motor skills, build drawing abilities, and prepare your child for the next step: writing!

In addition, pre-writing skills are essential for many reasons. It builds small muscle strength which helps your child hold a pencil easily. Plus, practicing the tracing of shapes encompasses pencil strokes that cover most letters and numbers strokes.

When to Begin Tracing

Even at the young age of two, your child can start practicing straight lines and possibility curves. As they turn three, try giving them worksheets to practice more difficult shapes. And, as they master their shapes, they can move onto letters and numbers!

Reusable Tracing Printables

Also, if you’d like to save on paper, try making erasable tracing sheets. It’s actually very simple to do. Get a laminator and laminate the shape tracing worksheets. Find some whiteboard markers for your child so they can easily erase their ‘masterpieces’ over and over again!

These free printable shapes worksheets are so versatile — you can even use them to practice small motor cutting skills using safe scissors. Or, they can try coloring the shapes and cut them out to glue onto construction paper for display! The possibilities are endless when it comes to creativity with your precious preschoolers!
