I use "sticky yarn," a simple yarn and glue combo for an inexpensive and fun way to incorporate motor skills into lessons.
What are you all doing to incorporate motor skills into your lesson plans? I'm always looking for new things to keep it fresh.
Not my picture..

Do you just put glue on the yarn and let it dry? Or do they use it while the yarn is wet with glue? I guess that would be how it would be sticky, huh? Haha.
That's a neat idea, but I have a couple kids here who absolutely hate getting glue on their hands when they're doing projects...

I have them outline the number or letter in glue first. Then using their fine motor skills (
) they place the colored yarn over it..
If you want to avoid glue, you can use yarn dipped in paint. If you press it down it will stick to the paper.. Of course, this is whole different type of mess!
