Apple season is just around the corner. What will you be doing to celebrate the arrival of this delectable fall fruit?

Last year I created an entire Apple Unit Study with tons of ideas for learning about and with apples.

The Apple Fine Motor Pack I’m sharing in this post has been available as part of the Apple Unit Study for a while now, but for the first time I’m making it available for purchase on its own.

My Apple Fine Motor Pack includes wonderful photographs of apples and apple trees, giving children a real-world understanding about apples while they work on important fine motor skills.

Enjoy!

Note: For more apple learning resources, see my Apple Unit Study page.

The 40+ pages of activities in this Apple Fine Motor Pack give children practice with nine different types of fine motor activities.

1. Pincer Grasp Practice

Children use their thumbs and forefingers in a pincer grasp to place buttons, stickers, coins, or any other small manipulative material on the dots.

2. Lacing Practice

Children weave yarn in and out of the holes to practice their lacing skills.

Children trace lines in a variety of shapes to work on pencil grip and overall fine motor control. The pack includes straight lines, angled lines, curvy lines, and looped lines.
