Colored Worm Craft for Preschoolers Fine Motor Skills Montessori Worksheets (4-6 Year Olds)

Fun Craft Activities for Children

When children practice activities to strengthen their hands, they are also exploring the world around them. That brings benefits such as a huge learning experience. While they enhance their motor skills, they are also stimulating their senses.

María Montessori states in her book "The Secret of Childhood" that "A child with the freedom and opportunity to manipulate and use his/her hand in a logical way, with coherency and using real things, will develop a strong personality."That is why we must allow children to explore the world that surrounds them.


The bigger challenge children face when entering preschool is learning to read and write. However, most of them will find this process more difficult than others. This toughness may be due to weak motor skills. When children practice activities to strengthen their hands, they are also preparing their eyes for a more complicated process as reading.

The following worm craft for preschoolers activity is based on Montessori's learning method. With this method, children will get hand movement skills but also will exercise their eyes.

HOW TO CARRY OUT THIS WORM CRAFT ACTIVITY WITH CHILDREN OF OTHER AGES?

CHANGES FOR CHILDREN UNDER 4 YEARS OLD

Easy Art and Craft for Kids

This worm craft for preschoolers activity can be carried out with younger children. If they cannot use the tweezers to place the cotton over the worms, they can use their index finger and thumb. They can also place the colored cotton over the colored worms.

CHANGES FOR CHILDREN OLDER THAN 6

This worm craft for preschoolers activity can also be carried out with older children. It is not necessary to change the tweezer. The difficulty level will be the patterns they will follow. These could be color and direction patterns. Use one cardboard to draw colored worms following different directions and use the other to draw black worms with some other directions, not the same as the colored ones. This way, children should see the direction first and then put the cotton.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION - COLORED WORMS CRAFT FOR PRESCHOOLERS

In this video, you will find a step-by-step explanation of the"COLORED WORMS" activity, designed for 4-6-year-old children.

Here we will create several worms with colored cotton balls. After drawing the worms, they will use a tweezer to place the cotton over the worms.

We will need two white card stock or construction paper sheets, color markers, colored cotton, and a tweezer.
