What skills will my child learn with the Spring and Easter Pom Pom Mats activity?
- Develop fine motor skills - picking up a pom pom using a tong and placing it correctly in the template will help develop their fine motor skills
- Develop patience and self-confidence - as they work on this activity, the pom poms may fall off and they have to repeatedly pick it up again with the tong. But after completing the picture, they will also develop self-confidence since they completed it themselves!
- Practice counting - at the bottom part of the worksheet, they can write the number of pom poms used for each color.
- Practice proper handgrip through tracing - they can also trace the name of the image formed at the bottom of each worksheet
- Enhance color recognition skills - while they count each colored pom pom, they become more mindful of the colors too!
- Learn religious and cultural beliefs - if you explain each spring and/or Easter symbol, they learn more about religious and cultural beliefs… in a fun way!
