Valentine's Day Fine Motor Skills Activity: Hole Punch Hearts
Support and develop children’s mark-making skills using this fantastic activity, focusing on squishing and squeezing to make holes using hole punches. In this fun continuous provision activity, children are encouraged to use a variety of hole punches to make different holes in love heart templates. Squishing and squeezing is a vital skill for children to practise as it supports the development of children's grasp, hand muscles and the strength of the whole hand - all pre-requisite skills for writing. Help toddlers and two-year-olds develop their fine motor skills by learning about Valentine's Day!
