Christmas fine motor decorate the Christmas tree activity

Encourage children to develop their fine motor control with our Christmas fine motor decorate the Christmas tree activity – a hands-on festive resource perfect for the Early Years classroom. Pupils use tweezers to pick up pom poms, gems or loose parts and place them on the correct spaces to decorate their Christmas tree. This activity supports the development of pincer and tripod grip, hand-eye coordination and perseverance, while adding a touch of Christmas excitement to your classroom or tuff tray set-up.

This fine motor activity can be used in continuous provision, small groups or adult-led sessions, and comes with full colour and black-and-white templates for flexibility. It also encourages discussion around Christmas celebrations and counting in correspondence.

Includes:

• Printable Christmas tree templates (colour and black and white)
• Fine motor ideas using pom poms, tweezers and chalk pens
• Key questions and differentiation guidance
