It’s been a while since I linked up for Workbasket Wednesday, but I finally snapped some pictures of my Workbaskets and just had to share them with you all!
Check out these adorable Back to School tasks with a focus on fine motor skills!
This task has been a classroom favorite. Students use the tweezers to sort out erasers I snagged from the Target Dollar Spot. Using the tweezers is a great way to build fine motor skills into this basic task.
This task has less of a fine motor focus, but it’s still a great beginning of the year task. I found some shape buttons on sale at Walmart and scooped them up quickly. I chose 6 shapes and hot glued one of each to the bottom of a muffin tin from the Dollar Tree. I sorted out a few more buttons of each shape for students to sort.
I shared this task last summer. When I was browsing Michaels I found some awesome wooden shapes and hot glued them to clothespins. I then quickly made some images for students to put the clips on. I also made a set of word cards that I swap with the images for my group of readers.
Can you tell I love fine motor and clothespins?! This task is super simple for the beginning of the year. Students clip the image that is the same with a clothespin and place it in the all done box. I made some cute thematic clothespins by painting them to look like pencils!
What are some of your favorite work tasks for the beginning of the school year? Make sure you head over to Autism Classroom News and see the other fantastic workbaskets!
