What educators are saying
I use this as a fine motor bin in the winter with my students. They love it and it has different little things that kids can do to work those little muscles.
I always love all the different themes for the busy bins that you provide. I enjoy changing them monthly to keep students engaged in the activities!
Description
Wouldn't it be great to be able to build a snowman even if you lived where it never snowed? Our low prep SNOWMEN Fine Motor Busy Bins are the perfect way to bring winter into your preschool (pre-k) classroom!
The Snowmen Fine Motor Busy Bins include 12 printable activities that offer fine motor practice which is key to developing little hand muscles to be ready to cut with scissors, hold pencils the correct way, buttoning jackets, opening lunch boxes, and tying shoes!
Each busy bin includes a direction and supplies page, and a label for your bin. They are set up as completely independent morning work tub activities for pre-k. The busy bins are also perfect to use with younger preschoolers during circle and small group time.
----> The snowmen fine motor busy bins are the 9th set in our ENDLESS Themed Fine Motor Busy Bins Bundle. The bundle is the way to go!
Print and prep the fine motor busy bins, and store them in small storage containers with lids (mine are from Walmart - some teachers use ziplock or colorful buckets). Switch out the 12 activities each time you switch themes. Genius idea!
What is a busy bin exactly?
A busy bin is similar to a busy bag activity. You put the activity together and store it in a bin to be used over and over again. Busy bins are reusable learning activities – prep once and play forever!
Each fine motor busy bin activity comes with an instruction page and a label for your bin.
