If you’re looking for Fall leaves fine motor printables, I’ve got just that for you.
Introducing the Fall Leaves fine motor activity packet!

Let’s take a peek at the activities included in this bright-colored Fall leaves fine motor packet.
FINE MOTOR #1: CUTTING PRACTICE
This activity packet is jam-packed with cutting practice.
Cutting #1: Cut along the small boxes
The first thing is to cut along short lines.
We know little kids start with cutting at the edges of papers, and sometimes the edges of their dress (hmm).
So I created the first cutting practice is to cut along small boxes – so that they can cut along short lines, many short lines.

Cutting #2: Cut along the dotted lines
Next, we cut along the dotted lines – we start with half-length dotted lines.

Then we cut along longer lines.

Cutting #3: Cut along curved lines
In this part, we are going to practice along curved lines.
Your little ones will practice cutting small shapes such as the circle and triangle. And then practice cutting along the curved lines of an adorable Fall image.

FINE MOTOR #2: SORTING
Fall leaves come with so many colors and shapes – and this makes it perfect for sorting activities.
Sorting #1: Sort by Color
Let’s sort the fall leaves by color.
In this activity, your kids will get to cut the leaves and sort them by color.

Sort the yellow leaves to the yellow sorting mat, and the purple leaves to the purple sorting mat.
There are 11 (ELEVEN) colors included – red, orange, yellow, pink, blue, purple, brown, black, gray, white, and green.
Sorting #2: Sort by Type
There are many types of fall leaves – some have curvy edges. Some have zigzag edges. Some have zigzag but curved edges.
Let your kids cut the Fall leaves, and sort them by type.

To do this activity, you have to carefully observe each sorting mat – each of them has only one type of leaf.
Then cut and paste the leaves accordingly.
Sorting #3: Sort by Size
Leaves also come in many sizes.
In this activity, we will focus on comparing BIG and small.
Let your kids cut the Fall leaves, and sort them by size.

You can also bring out the sorting pages and have your kids collect real Fall leaves – then sort the leaves to the sorting pages accordingly. It’ll be so much fun!
Sorting #4: Sort by Shape
Have fun cutting the shapes – which have Fall leaves in them – and paste them accordingly.

Use this activity to introduce the names of the shapes, such as “circle”, “square”, “pentagon”, and more.
FINE MOTOR #3: MATCHING
Matching activities in this packet are about matching pictures and matching shadows.
This activity helps little learners to practice focus and hone their observation skills before they decide which picture to pair with which.
Matching #1: Picture Matching
Cut the pictures, and paste them on the matching pairs.
Your little ones need to observe which pair is the most similar before deciding to paste the pictures.

It might look easy for us teachers and parents, but little kids need time to observe and analyze the pictures. Give them time to think and decide.
Matching #2: Shadow Matching
Cut the pictures, and paste them on the matching shadows.
Shadow matching is a bit tricky compared to picture matching, because you have to find the matching shadows, which are pitch black.

Let your kids observe the pictures and shadows closely – look at the edges of both shadows and pictures, the curved and other characteristics – then let them decide which picture pair to which shadow.
Matching #3: 2-Piece Puzzle
This activity is about finding the matching pair of puzzles.
Let your kids cut the pre-scrambled puzzles, then solve them
