MAKING WINTER SNOWFLAKES ❄️ WITH TISSUE PAPER TO STRENGTHEN FINE MOTOR SKILLS AND LEARN TO USE “JUST A DROP” OF GLUE

I know you all know exactly what I’m talking about. You give a preschooler a bottle of glue and if you don’t watch them VERY carefully, there will soon be glue EVERYWHERE (and not necessary where you had hoped). Teaching your child HOW to use glue is actually a “thing” and you should thank an early childhood teacher if your little one does a great job with it, because I promise you they didn’t spontaneously develop that skill. And like everything else, the more they practice, the better they get.

Most people don’t realize how hard it is for little hands to tear tissue paper and roll tiny pieces of it into little balls. They will likely require help, but it’s a fun way for them to get their #finemotorplay on. And since we’re learning about seasons and Winter today in specific, I took advantage. @dollartree tissue paper, a free snowflake printable, and some glue was all we needed. Simple play is my kind of play.
