Fine Motor Practice With Q-Tip Prewriting Printables
Prewriting can be something that not all kids like to do. This newest prewriting printable is something to make prewriting a little more fun.
It lets you change up the normal ways you do writing and add something fun into it.
The free Q-tip Prewriting Printables are fun and great for kids to use.
These cotton swab prewriting printables is something great for fine motor and working up to other prewriting activities.
I love using q-tips for painting and various other activities. So taking something we love to use already and making it a prewriting activity very fun!
This was an easy addition to the prewriting that we do. There at 8 pages and similar to the other prewriting worksheets.
You will find all the lines going in the same direction. This makes it easy to practice some of the same patterns over and over. There are straight lines for starting and more complex lines as you develop fine motor skills.
There is also one page that has 4 directions on one page. These pages make great review pages after you are done the other pages. The first page has more straight lines and the second page of these has more complex prewriting on them.

How we used these Q-Tip Prewriting Printables for Fine Motor
Who says you have to use a printable just one way. I never do. And I love to share how we use the printables.
The most basic way to use these is with q-tip. We do this a lot. I like to give them two colors and see what happens. I will suggest a pattern if the child is olde enough to do patterns. You can see lines just dotted and lines dotted with patterns. We used q-tips and paints to do this one.
The circles also work for small pony beads. It is great fine motor work for kids to do. This gives them a small object to play on the cirlces. You can give them a mix of pony beads and let them have fun with it.
You can also have fun with watercolors. You can have them put a dot of watercolor in each cicle. This is great fine motor work for kids to do.
These also work great for small circle stickers. You get to the fine motor work of getting the sticker off and then placing the sticker on the line. You can do a line a day or the whole page. I love using the smiley face stickers.
If you are looking to reuse the pages laminate them or put them in sheet protectors and use a large dry erase markers on them. It lets them dot the circles and you can reuse the page.
