FREE 12 Sets of Apple Tracing Mat for Toddlers
Yesterday we did Letter A is for Apple, thus I’m making Apple Tracing Mat especially for Miss 3 who is currently in tracing mode.
Tracing is a way of strengthening fine motor skills. It can be done in several ways. Among others, kids can trace using the usual crayon or color pencils, or tracing using fingers and Q-tips.
For Apple Tracing Mat, Miss 3 used colored pens, whatever available right next to her.
Apple Tracing Mat
This tracing mat inspired by Miss 3, so it started with Miss 3’s favorite shape, which is the circle shape.
Miss 3 is quite obsessed with circle shape because it resembles the letter ‘O’, and the letter ‘O’ is very close to her because her nickname is ‘Ochee’.
It starts with ‘O’
There are 12 Tracing Mats in this pack.
