All things summer are here with our ICE CREAM fine motor busy bins!  They go perfectly with your summer theme to use with your favorite preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten kiddos.

The ICE CREAM Fine Motor Busy Bins include 12 printable activities that offer fine motor practice for little hands.  You need this set!  Little hands need lots of fine motor practice to be ready to cut with scissors, hold pencils the correct way, buttoning jackets, opening lunch boxes, and tying shoes!

Each busy bin includes a direction and supplies page, and a label for your bin. They are set up as completely independent morning work tub activities for pre-k.  The busy bins are also perfect to use with younger preschoolers during circle and small group time.

Description

Find details about the ICE CREAM Fine Motor Busy Bins themed activity descriptions and extra supply lists below. Check out the images above to see how the busy bins look prepped and ready to go!

Print and prep the fine motor busy bins, and store them in small storage containers with lids (mine are from Walmart – some teachers use ziplock or colorful buckets).  Switch out the 12 activities each time you switch themes.  Yes, we agree.  This is such a great idea!

What is a busy bin exactly?

A busy bin is similar to a busy bag activity.  You put the activity together and store it in a bin to be used over and over again. Busy bins are reusable learning activities – prep once and play forever!

Each fine motor busy bin activity comes with an instruction page and a label for your bin.
