Lacing

Children lace yarn through the holes on a lacing card. I made these by tracing and cutting an outline of a butterfly on old file folders.

Toothpick Punch

Draw a simple shape (like the pumpkin in the photo) with a black marker, and have children punch holes along the lines with a toothpick. I took a photo of the back of the paper so you could see the holes the child punched (the black outline is drawn on the front side).

Paper Punchers

Children use paper punchers in the art center to punch shaped holes in their paper.  Saving this page shows  that the child has the dexterity to punch a hole with the paper punchers.
