They are set up as completely independent morning work tub activities for pre-k.  The busy bins are also perfect to use with younger preschoolers during circle and small group time.

Description

Read details about the Penguins Fine Motor Busy Bins below.  Flip through the images above to see the busy bins in action.

Print and prep the fine motor busy bins, and store them in small storage containers with lids (mine are from Walmart – some teachers use ziplock or colorful buckets).  Switch out the 12 activities each time you switch themes.  This couldn’t be easier!

What is a busy bin exactly?

A busy bin is similar to a busy bag activity.  You put the activity together and store it in a bin to be used over and over again. Busy bins are reusable learning activities – prep once and play forever!

Each fine motor busy bin activity comes with an instruction page and a label for your bin.

PENGUINS FINE MOTOR BUSY BINS

Penguin Pom Pom Sort – Use kid-friendly squeezers to sort pom poms by color on to the correct colored penguin.
Cover the Letters – Use buttons, beads, or even goldfish crackers to build the uppercase letters on the penguin cards.
Fish Play Dough Numbers 1-10 – Create the numerals and form the letters in the number with play dough.  Count and cover the fish with play dough balls for added fine motor and counting practice!
Counting Penguins 1-12 – Add the correct amount of penguin mini erasers (or pom poms) to the icebergs.

Color Linking Penguins – Put the penguin puzzles back together by matching the colors on the penguins.  Use pipe cleaners or plastic chain links to attach the penguin puzzles together.
Shape Clip Cards – Find the shape that matches the shape on the penguin’s belly and use a clothespin to mark it.
Penguin Pre-Writing Tracing Cards – Practice pencil lift and control while tracing shapes and lines on each penguin card.
Icy Writing – Use the letter cards and create a simple writing tray with salt (pretend snow!) to form each letter correctly.
Make 10 Fish – Draw the correct number of fish on the card to make 10 fish for the hungry penguin to eat.
Pom Pom Penguins – Use kid-friendly squeezers to move pom poms to cover the spots on the penguin with the matching color to complete the picture.
