DISCOVER. Sticker Fine Motor Activity

Wednesday, 30 November 2016

This activity can help strengthen fine motor skills as well as provide the opportunity to use text and symbols that are important or relevant for the tamariki. Through this activity the tamariki are being provided with an opportunity to contribute (mana tangata) and explore (mana aoturoa).

• Paper
• Felt or pencil
• Very small stickers

1. Think about the children's interests and abilities so you can individualise each child's page. Write letters of the alphabet, numbers, text or symbols on a piece of paper. E.g the letter "M" if the child's name is Molly or for an advanced option you could write the whole child's name. You could use this learning time to talk with the child about words that start with "m" or the sound "m" makes.

2. Have a piece of paper so you can demonstrate on it or leave the piece of paper at the activity so the child knows what to do.

3. 3.Peel off the small stickers and place them along the lines you have drawn. Once the lines have had stickers placed along them the text or symbol is complete. You can add on more text/symbols to their page if you want to.
