    You may have noticed that Pinterest is already full of Christmas activities and ideas. I felt a bit of a panic when I saw that and realized that I needed to get on my game. One of our most popular posts has been on Fall Fine Motor Activities, so I was inspired to gather some of my favorite Christmas Fine Motor Skills Activities. These are great for preschoolers and kindergartners to work on strengthening their important small hand muscles. Fine motor skills help with writing and cutting, so getting kids to practice them in a fun way is always a good thing.

    These 20 Christmas fine motor skills activities are perfect for preschoolers and kindergarten students! Play and strengthen skills at the same time!

    There are a number of supplies that I love to have on hand for practicing fine motor skills. Eye droppers are great for squeezing up water. Kids Tongs can be used with pom poms and other small items. Pipe cleaners and styrofoam blocks offer a variety of fine motor uses.

    Each link number corresponds with a number in the photos below so you can see exactly what the activities look like.
