What You'll Find On This Page
Why Are Fine Motor Skills Important?
From holding a pencil to turning the pages in a book, kids use their fine motor skills as they are learning to read and write.
The development of the small muscles in the hands and fingers in coordination with the eyes is important in not only children’s learning but also in their everyday life.

Then, cut the cards apart and punch holes on all of the black dots.
You can store the cards and connect links in a pencil box or pouch for a literacy center that is easy to set-up and use.

How To Use The Milk & Cookie Letter Match Activity:
To begin this letter match activity, your kids will select a capital letter cookie card and identify the letter on it.
Next, they will sort through the milk cards to find the matching lowercase letter.
They will then connect the cookie and milk cards together using connect links or math links.
Your kids will continue matching the cookie and milk cards until they have matched all of the capital and lowercase letters together.
If your pre-readers are just starting to learn the letters of the alphabet, you can start with just a few cards and then add more as their letter knowledge increases.
This Cookie & Milk Letter Match Activity is a fun, hands-on way for kids to practice matching capital and lowercase letters and work on developing their fine motor skills!
