I’ve been fascinated with Arctic animals ever since my children and I did an Arctic unit study a few years back. So today I’m happy to be adding to my collection of Arctic printables with my Arctic Animals Fine Motor Pack.

The development of fine motor skills is so crucial for children’s development and success in learning and in life. Fine motor skills develop along a continuum, and are important for mastering tasks such as tying one’s shoes, buttoning up a shirt, and writing letters.

My Arctic Animals Fine Motor Pack will give your children a chance to develop a variety of fine motor skills as they learn about the wonderful animals of the Arctic region.

This pack uses bright, colorful photographs of Arctic animals including the Arctic fox, Arctic hare, Arctic tern, Arctic wolf, beluga whale, caribou, harp seal, musk ox, orca, polar bear, ptarmigan, puffin, snowy owl, and walrus.

Note: For more Arctic printables, see my Polar Animals and Lands Unit Study page or grab my Arctic Unit Study.

Arctic Animals Fine Motor Pack | More than 40 pages of Arctic-themed fine motor activities to help children develop nine different fine motor skills including pincer grasp, lacing, tracing, tweezing, drawing, hole punching, pin punching, and cutting. Perfect for an Arctic Unit Study. #Arctic #finemotor || Gift of Curiosity

The 40+ pages of activities in this Arctic Animals 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.
