Push Pin Poking — Woodland Animals
Montessori fine motor skills printable - push pin poking pages with twelve woodland animals at three levels of difficulty, for toddlers and preschoolers building the grip a pencil needs later.
Your child holds a push pin like a pencil and pokes along the dots, all the way round the animal. When the circle is finished, the animal pops out of the page on its own. It is quiet, it takes real concentration, and it builds exactly the grip a pencil needs later.
Perfect for quiet time, homeschool, preschool prep, classroom centres, travel, rainy days and screen-free afternoons.

HOW TO USE IT ★
Put a folded towel, a cork mat or a piece of felt under the page so the pin goes through cleanly.
Start at any dot and work round. When the ring of holes joins up, the animal lifts straight out.
The animal that pops out is a keeper - stick it on a card, a window or a fridge.
A NOTE ON SAFETY ★
A push pin is sharp. Sit with your child, keep the mat underneath, and put the pin away when you are finished.
PRINTING ★
Print at 100 percent, not "fit to page", so everything stays the size it was drawn.
US Letter and A4 friendly - the artwork sits well clear of the edges, so either paper works.
