1. Dot Sticker / Dot Marker Pages
These pages are a classic for strengthening little hands! Students fill in the circles using dot stickers or dot markers. You could use mini dot stickers for an extra fine-motor challenge.
2. Valentine Line Tracing Strips
These tracing strips are great for pre-writing practice and pencil control. You can laminate the strips so students can trace the paths with a dry-erase marker.
3. Valentine Tracing Page
This page is a fun tracing activity with cookies and cupcakes. Students trace the lines using a pencil, crayon, or marker.
5. Play Dough Cards
If your students love play dough, these cards are a hands-on way to build finger strength. The directions explain that students pick a card, read the sentence, and use play dough to outline the object.
6. Shadow Matching Cards
This is such a simple, satisfying visual discrimination activity! Students match each color picture card to its shadow.
