This fall pin poke art activity is a simple, calming way for students to build fine motor skills while creating fun fall pictures.
Children use a push pin to poke along the dotted lines to create images like a pumpkin, football, apple or sunflower. When finished, they can hold their artwork up to the light and see their picture shine through.
This activity is great for brain breaks, as students work quietly and focus on their art. The repetitive pin poking motion will help keep students calm, engaged and relaxed while strengthening their hand muscles.
