Fine Motor Worksheets
One thing you can NEVER practice too much with Preschoolers is fine motor strength! This is such a crucial skill for our littlest learners in order for them to complete basic tasks both in school and out – think of holding a pencil, tying their shoes, even grasping a fork! But just because they’re important skills doesn’t mean they have to be difficult to practice!
Our NO PREP fine motor skills worksheets are a great resource to add to your St. Patrick’s Day activities collection. Included you’ll find 25 NO PREP practice pages for children to practice tracing, cutting, gluing, coloring, sorting, and so much more! Plus they make fantastic crafts and keepsakes!

Preschool Skills Sensory Bins
These sensory bin matching mats make a fun addition to your St. Patrick’s Day activities whether you choose to use a sensory bin or NOT! Simply provide your students with the cut out pieces and help them make their matches on the matching mats! This St. Patrick’s Day-themed set practices shapes, colors, counting, letter identification, and beginning sounds!
Puzzles and Matching Mats
Want to test out sensory bins with your Preschool but not really sure where to begin? Our puzzles and matching mats are a perfect place to start with your St. Patrick’s Day activities this year! This set includes 3 puzzles and 3 matching mats. To play, children choose picture cards from their sensory bin and match them to their mat to cover all the pictures or complete the puzzles. This is a great, low-pressure way to explore sensory bin activities without adding academic skills for children who aren’t ready yet.
