Easter Egg Patterns {FREE Printable}

22/3/2015

Are you loving all the FREE printables I've been making this year?! Well it is almost Easter and I have another FREE printable for you!

I am always looking for new opportunities to incorporate fluency patterns into therapy sessions. Easter Eggs are perfect! I really believe fluency and pencil control are so important for kids of all ages! You can read more about fluency patterns and get your copy of mine here!

Here are 2 ways I have been using Easter eggs to incorporate fluency patterns {for kids it is all about "deocrating" their egg so you don't even have to mention "pencil control and fluency"!}...

1. Draw a picture of a large Easter egg outline. Your child can stick this picture onto a vertical surface which encourages wrist extension and shoulder stability. If you are using my fluency patterns, ask your child to trace them with their finger and draw them onto the egg with their finger. This step helps with motor memory. Your child can then use coloured textas to decorate their egg with any fluency patterns.

Mr 4 is doing a great job here decorating his Easter egg with fluency patterns. He enjoyed choosing the pattern he was going to draw and where he was going to draw it.

2. Easter Egg Pattern Copying {FREE printable}! This printable is a series of Easter eggs for your child to draw. There are fluency patterns and other shapes for copying. This activity is a great way to encourage spatial awareness, copying, visual motor integration, fluency and pencil control.

Your child could colour in these eggs after copying the patterns and cut out the eggs too! The pictures could then be hidden in the garden or around the house in a scavenger hunt!
