It seems like my students' handwriting is getting worse as the years go by, so this year, we are doing a lot of activities that just develop their muscles and their fine motor skills. Somewhere in my internet adventures, I found a million ideas to use, but can't remember where they came from. I have the ideas written down in my handy-dandy notebook.
This center, the kids read the number word--or look really close on the apple leaf to find the number--and then pick up that many 'worms' to put on the apple. Simple, but gets the job done.
The tweezers can be found at Lakeshore.
