10 Fine Motor Activities
for Spring
I think I’ve shared how much of a
focus we’ve had on Fine Motor skills in
my classroom this year. My students
have made so much growth in their
fine motor skills and keeping the
activities in our fine motor center
fresh is one of the ways we get tons of
practice in in our classroom. We’re all
about Spring in our classroom during
April. The weather is getting a little bit
warmer with an occasional rain
shower. We’re seeing all kinds of
plants pop up around our school and
we definitely have spring fever in our
classroom.
Since we’re loving Spring in the
classroom, I put together 10 spring
themed fine motor activities that you
can implement in your classroom in
no time. Check them out!

1.
1. Sticker
Sticker Flowers
Flowers
This simple print and go activity is
easy for you to prepare and the fine
motor practice your students get is
PERFECT. Just print the flower page
from my FREE download and grab
some Avery stickers. Students will use
their pinching fingers to peel the
stickers off the paper and they will
practice targeting by trying to place
the sticker inside the circle of the
flower.

2. Bug
Bug Color
Color Sort
Sort
This activity is a fun one. My kids seem
to LOVE all the squirmy things in the
Spring! I used some plastic grass and
a bucket to prepare this activity and
added in some plastic bugs. I threw in
some assorted tongs for my students
and we worked on sorting the bugs by
color.
3. Rainy Day Fun
This activity is one of my favorites
from my Grab and Go Scissor Skills
boxes. I love to put some activities
that integrate scissor skills into our
fine motor center every month. This
activity is one I use with some of my
students have more advanced scissor
skills. Students practice cutting
intricate shapes by cutting out the
pictures of kids and adding them to
the rainy day scene. My students love
coloring these. I’ll also add them to a
piece of writing paper and we’ll write
short stories about the scenes, too!
4. Taped Bug Rescue
Spring is the time to enjoy all things
squirmy and wormy! This fine motor
activity is a super fun one! I grabbed
some cardboard (thanks Amazon
deliveries!), some masking tape, and
some little plastic bugs to get
prepared for this activity. I ripped
small lengths of masking tape and
used them to “trap” the bugs onto the
cardboard. My students love using
their pinching fingers to peel the tape
back and save the bugs!
5. Counting Poms
We’re still working on counting sets in
our classroom, so when I think of an
activity that can combine fine motor
skills and counting skills, it’s a win for
me! For this quick prep fine motor
activity, I grabbed a basket, some
tongs, and some plastic grass from
the store and tossed it all together. I
prepared some quick circles to drop
into a muffin tin (laminate if you want, I
printed on card stock, so I didn’t feel
the need to) and students can
practice counting out sets! You can
grab these quick circles to pop in the
muffin tins in my FREE download!
Have students that aren’t counting
yet? You can always sort by size or
color, too!
6. Flower Number Punch
Have you notice a no/low prep theme
in these activities yet? This flower
number punch activity is such a great
way to integrate fine motor skills with
counting skills in the classroom. Just
print the punch cards from my FREE
download and grab a hole punch.
Students will practice punching holes
in the card to match the number on
the flower. Have students who aren’t
quite counting independently? I
added in a set with some prompts for
your students to be more successful.
7. Bugs on a Leaf Clothespin
Activity
I love the fine motor practice my
students get when using clothespins.
That pinching and targeting is such
great practice and it’s a good
strengthening activity for some of my
students. For this quick fine motor
activity, I printed and prepped some
leaf and bug pieces. I laminated all
the pieces and hot glued the bugs to
a clothespin. I placed everything in a
basket in my classroom and my
students are practicing putting the
bugs on the leafs in the fine motor
center.
8. Ripped Umbrella
This activity is a precutting activity
from my Grab and Go Scissor Skills
boxes. Students are given strips of
paper that they rip and place on an
umbrella template I have prepared.
The practice of ripping the paper is
great for the development of my
students fine motor skills. I even
created a little color book that my
students complete while working on
this activity. The love making and
reading the book. I love the repeated
practice they get when completing
this activity multiple times!
9. Eye Drop Painting
I always like to include a painting
activity in my fine motor centers. My
students tend to LOVE them. This is a
simple, fun activity that has been a
big hit in the classroom. You can grab
two FREE templates in my download
to use with your students. Students
can color the picture if they’d like. I
made a quick triangle out of some old
cardboard (thanks Amazon
deliveries!) to prop the picture upon.
Then the fill an eye dropper with paint
and drip it down the page to make
“rain”.
TIP: For runnier paint, mix it with a
little bit of water!
10. Planting Flowers
This is such a great activity to
practice targeting. I grabbed my old
egg cartons and cut out some flowers
from my FREE download. I laminated
them for durability and hot glued
them to a popsicle stick. I cut a small
slit in my egg carton and students
practice inserting the flower’s stem
into the egg carton.
