Fairy Tale Pin Poke Activity

This fairy tale-themed push pin poke art activity is a simple, fun way for students to build fine motor skills while creating different fairy tale related pictures. 

Children use a push pin to poke along the dashed lines to create images like a carriage, glass slipper, rose and tower. 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 them calm, engaged and relaxed while strengthening their hand muscles. 

Adult supervision is required for this activity. 

The download for this push pin activity comes in both color and black and white!
