Tracing Fine Motor Activities | Crazy Hair Pre-Writing | PreK Preschool OT SPED

Tracing has never been this silly! Students build fine motor and pre-writing skills by completing wild, crazy-hair-themed pictures — tracing the hair to finish each goofy hairstyle. The playful theme keeps your fine motor center fun and engaging any time of year, while students practice the lines, curves, and strokes that build toward handwriting. A favorite in preschool, Pre-K, and special education classrooms — and a go-to for OT.

Just print, laminate, and add dry erase markers, and students trace the lightly-lined gray hair to complete each crazy hairstyle (see photos for details). Because every hairstyle uses different lines, zigzags, loops, and curves, students get natural practice with a whole range of pre-writing strokes — and they'll want to do them again and again.
