To save paper, we’ve been using these Learning Resources Write & Wipe Pockets. They are so sturdy and way better than a regular flimsy sheet protector.

Other things that will help with developing fine motor skills and hand strength include:

• Playing with clay
• Making numbers or letters out of clay
• Stringing beads on string, thread, or yarn
• Tearing and cutting paper
• Playing with lacing cards
• Squeezing a stress ball
• Drawing shapes and letters in sand or flour spread in a baking sheet
