This will lead you to some fun little sensory motor books!
Great Movement Links!
Free fine motor, visual motor, visual perceptual and sensory motor activities!
Great site to make paper toys....just print and enjoy. Fun for all ages.
One of the best things you can do is play games with your kids. Small motor games such as Operation, Bed Bugs, Candyland, Connect Four are just some ideas. Even playing a simple card game such as Uno or Go Fish helps kids to use their hands and improve dexterity.

For 90 days families can access the handwriting without tears handwriting curriculum at no cost! It is interactive, fun, and a lot of the lingo I use when I am teaching formation of letters. Also, you can access their keyboarding program for free!
Click on the positioning cards and open in a new tab. You can print out the cards if you like and are able.
This also has some cursive practice for you if you are able to print from home.
