Montessori Hole Punch Activity

This hole punch activity is another Montessori activity aimed at developing hand-eye coordination, finger strength, and independence.

Make sure you follow my toddler board on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

To do this hole punch activity you will need:

• Either a single hole punch or pattern hole punch.
• Paper
• Tray

Pop all the items on a tray and place it in easy reach of your little one.

Your little one can then experiment with making different holes around the edge of the paper or in a free form pattern.

NC need some help with this because she had to slide the paper into the correct slot for the hole punch to work.  Plus, it was a little stiff for her little hands.  Although she did find it tricky it is one that I will keep putting out to help build up those hand muscles in preparation for handwriting.

If your little one is slightly bigger and has no trouble with making the holes. Then you can add another level to the activity by marking circles on the paper that they must try to punch a hole through.

If you enjoyed this hole punch activity, be sure to check out my pipette activity for toddlers and monster hair cut activity.
