This Fine Motor Busy Bag involves matching colours by pressing and pinching the peg onto the matching coloured flower or button shape. It is a great activity for developing fine motors skills and coordination and also colour recognition.
It is so simple to make: print, laminate and play!
What you will need?
You will need coloured pegs, we purchased our mini pegs from our local art and crafts stores or alternatively you can colour wooden pegs with paint or food dye. You will also need our free printable buttons and flower shapes. Laminating sheets are optional but are recommended for durability and will help make the picture cards last longer.
