Today’s freebie is monster reading puzzles. First, the children cut out the pictures. Then, they read the instructions and place the images in the correct place. This trains attention, visual and spatial perception, and accurate reading. Cutting and gluing the pictures is good for fine motor skills. An alternative is to read the instructions to the children. This trains careful listening.
We like these reading puzzles a lot, because children practice different perceptions and accurate reading or listening. Also, the children have great fun and are happy when all the pictures are in the correct place.

Tracing and pattern
Today’s freebie contains tracing and pattern exercises. Children can either trace the shapes or they can trace the shapes and complete the pattern. Let them use different pens and colors. You can also laminate the exercises. Children can do the tracing with a dry-erase pen. This is a good alternative for children who have difficulties with tracing. Knowing that they can erase their tracing seems helpful for them. Tracing and pattern exercises train attention and visual and spatial perception – important skills for reading, writing, and calculating.

More picture chaos
Monday’s freebie was quite a success on Pinterest, so we decided to offer some more picture chaos. This time, we used black-and-white graphics from Cre8tiveHands. Again, children have to order the mixed-up pictures. This trains attention and visual and spatial perception – important skills for reading, writing, and calculating.

Clowns! Clowns! Clowns!
It is soon Mardi Gras, and we thought this is a good time to offer some exercises with clowns: tracing, finding differences, seriality, and left-right exercises. These exercises train attention, hand-eye coordination, visual and spatial perception – very important skills for reading, writing, and calculating.

Tracing and Drawing
Children love pictures from space. With today’s freebie, they can trace a picture and then draw it into a grid. For those who are already good at drawing, there is no grid. This kind of exercise is also good for children who tend to draw everything very small.
