Fine motor activities are so important in preschool because as children develop these skills and strength in their hands and fingers, they will not only have a simpler time learning to write these skills but also help them to master things like using eating utensils, buttoning their pants, and zipping up their coats. So, as you can imagine, these are important skills, and as teachers, we don't have time to reinvent the wheel with elaborate activities when we need to be incorporating these activities every day. So here is a big list of simple ideas you can do with little planning!
