Shapes, Counting and Colors Busy Bag (with Printable)

  It’s a another lovely Friday and we are back with our weekly fine motor activity! This week I wanted to concentrate on some recognition of shapes, numbers and colors so drew up this lovely printable to use as our fine motor activity.

Fine Motor Busy Bag How to:

I made 5 main shapes namely a star, triangle, square, circle and heart. Selected 5 colors namely red, blue, green, yellow and purple. Then set these out on all the printables.

My 2 year old has difficulty opening a peg (she hasn’t developed that skill as yet, she is a bit young still) for my other 2 kids we focused on what the shapes were called, what colors they were and counted while we pegged the pegs onto the correct corresponding numbers and colors. For one child this activity would require one set of 5 pegs. If you have more than one child I suggest coloring more pegs! Below is my 2 year old trying to clip a peg onto the triangle. Love those tiny little hands that just want to try absolutely everything! She did get to do her favorite activity though! She packed up the busy bag like a pro 😉 (these busy bag pouches can be found here) These zipper pouches also work great if you wanted to check these out too. They don’t have the binder holes but they do come in various sizes to suit your needs, I use these pouches in a4 sizes to store A4 printables and workbooks for the kids. I love how they help keep things organized. This fine motor activity is a fabulous addition to our busy bag collection and I will be bringing it out every now and again for the kids to re-explore! (Have you see our paperclip busy bag yet?)
