Easter Egg Handwriting Practice

At 3 Isaac is still on the young end for having the fine motor skills to form letters with a pencil or pen, but that doesn't mean he can't practice some basic handwriting skills.  We turned this activity into an Easter craft as well.

I made an egg with a dotted line and then added dotted designs to the egg.


Isaac chose different colors of markers to use as he followed each dotted line.

In theory this turned out better than in real life.  Isaac wasn't really interested in following the dotted lines and just wanted to color.  After doing what I asked him he covered the paper in his markings.  Oh well, no harm done. 

Happy Easter!
