Christmas Stocking: Fine Motor Craft
12.05.2015
The holidays are here and we have a fun Christmas Stocking themed fine motor craft that kids will love to make! This activity addresses a variety of fine motor, bilateral integration, hand-eye coordination, visual motor coordination, and praxis skills. We have included a FREE Printable template/pattern for this stocking craft. This cut, hole punch, thread, and paste craft is a great way to promote a variety of skills and decorate for the holidays!
Materials:
- Stocking template - FREE Printable find it here!
- 1/8 inch Hole Punch
- Tape
- Scissors
- Needle
- Yarn
- White Glue
- Cotton Balls
Instructions to Assemble:
1. Print out stocking template (find FREE Printable here) on heavy cardstock paper. Print on red or colored cardstock.
2. Cut out stocking on dotted lines as indicated.
3. Using a small hole punch, punch each dot around the stocking.
4. You can also poke each hole with needle if you do not have a small hole punch.
5. Thread a needle with a piece of white yarn.
Tip: If you don’t have a needle, wrap tape around the tip of the yarn to create a point. This is easier to push through the holes!
6. Using the needle, sew around the stocking. The holes farther apart are where the yarn will be sewed in the back.
7. The 2 dots closer together are where the yarn will be sewed (and shown) in the front.
8. Once sewed all around the stocking, cut excess yarn and tape to back.
9. Squeeze white glue all around the top of the stocking.
10. Pull apart small pieces from cotton balls and place onto top of stocking.
11. Hang stockings and enjoy!
