Fine Motor Games for Kids
This puzzle brand is interesting because the puzzle has a colorful top side and the back side is the internal skeleton of the animal. Although there are several animals pictured on the box, each box only comes with one animal. The puzzle itself is sturdy, there are around 48 larger pieces and it is good for older students with emerging skills because it's a little less "little kid" in appearance.
This is an interesting single person game/activity. You make pictures using small (less than 1/2 inch) cubes following a template. There are 7 picture templates, a wood frame to build in and a lot of small, colored cubes. This is better for older students because of the complexity and small cube size.
Not the best picture but this is a 4 pack of puzzles, each with 60 larger size pieces. The pieces fit in their own wood frame. The pieces are durable and water resistant which makes them easier to clean than card board puzzles. The cut out pieces have some animal shapes among the standard puzzle piece shapes. The pictures are a little more "big kid" than most wood framed puzzles. This makes them good for older students with emerging skills.
Kids love this simple game. It works on memory, color matching and fine motor skills as you roll the dice, pick up the penguin and look for matching "eggs" under them. It's like the Memory card games - but more fun!
I like this game because it is very simple, you can play with one or two players and there is an animal "launcher". The goal is to collect all 4 animals. The launching/tipping over of the animals is the best part for kids. I like that is is short and easy to play when you don't have much time.
A new spin on an old game. Pull the leaves out of the tree and the bees fall out. I like this game because it uses those pincher fingers to pull the leaves out and it's short and it's popular with kids.
Use those pincher fingers to remove noodles from the bowl without letting the Yeti fall. It is a short game best for 2-3 players.
Fine motor, figure ground and quick thinking make this a fun game. A great way to work on communication skills too!
This game is pretty much what it looks like in the picture. It is a short, 2 player game with a crash at the end which is always fun with kids.
Dragon tongs and shiny gems make this a fantastic scissor skills game. Spin the dial, pick up the gem. Short and simple. Great for younger students or kids with emerging fine motor skills.
Build fine motor skills while fishing in a shark's mouth! This game works with a group and also as solo activity.
This is a simple game of matching colored foods to the colors on a rainbow board. Perfect for younger students and students with emerging skills.
Pete is a very popular cat. This is a simple board game with a spinner and movable game pieces. Good for younger kids and kids with emerging fine motor skills.
A fun single or multiple player game. Use your fingers motor skills to pick up and place the pieces on the tree. Kids love the crash.
One of my child hood favorites! Use those pincher fingers and eyes together to pick up and place the shapes before the time goes and the shapes pop.
Get those pincher fingers and eyes working together with this classic game. I like this version because the sticks are skinny making you use a more precision pinch to pull them out.
