Planting Flowers Fine Motor Practice

Plant popsicle stick flowers and work on fine motor skills too!

You will need:

• Flowers(you can use ready-cut craft foam flowers, make your own, or use the FREE printable at the end of the post)
• Craft sticks
• Egg carton

Color the flowers in. Make two of the same color to use as a color matching activity too! Cut out the flowers and attach to the craft sticks. Use a egg carton box(or any other box) and make slits in the box so that the sticks will slide in. You can paint the box if you prefer to look like a garden patch.

Get planting. Plant the flowers randomly, or look for pairs to plant together.
Extension activities:

• Add numbers or letters to the flowers and to the box to match the flowers to the correct slit.
• Plant in the correct order(numerical or alphabetical)
• Plant to spell a word like we did in THIS activity!
