How to Use Fine Motor Sheets in the Classroom

Using fine motor sheets to practice cutting and pasting in the classroom is a game changer! I love these leveled Simply Special Ed Fine Motor Sheets for my self-contained classroom! Read on to see how I use them!

Halloween

This is a photo of some children dressed up for Halloween.  One witch, one clown, and one wizard.

Holidays are always exciting for students, especially Halloween! At my school, we always have a day where students can wear a costume. My school also has a parade for students to showcase their costumes. This is a fun day, but we still have to learn and work!

Enter leveled fine motor sheets!

Level 1

Level one fine motor sheets are just three pieces. Students can color, cut, piece together, and then glue.

This is a photo go a child piecing together their picture after cutting it out.

I love that there is an option to print in black and white as well as in color. Depending on how much time I have, I will have students do either.

This is a color printed fine motor sheet with yellow colored cut lines as a prompt.
I printed this in color.

These sheets also have the option to print with yellow cut lines. The yellow acts as a within stimulus cutting prompt for students who need that extra help.

Level 2

This is a photo of a Level 2 fine motor sheet with four pieces put together to make a ghost.

Here is a slightly higher level where the puzzle is slightly more difficult. This is also available to print in black and white with the yellow cut lines or without the yellow cut lines.

Level 3

This is a photo of a student cutting out a level 3 fine motor sheet of a pumpkin.  It has more pieces, making it more challenging.

The level 3 sheets are even more challenging! I love that the pieces are angled and not highlighted for students who need more challenging fine motor activities.

Here is a photo of a student piecing together the level 3 fine motor sheet.  It is a jack-o-lantern.

These are also available in color or black and white, with or without the yellow cut lines.

I hope you have fun with your students during the holidays! Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.
