Carve out Some Handwriting Time

Handwriting is such an important skill for littles but let’s face it, it’s often a dreaded activity for them. Help reLEAF them of that stress by adding some hands-on components to the writing. Students can build numbers and/or letters with acorns, candy corn or corn kernels before writing. They can trace words in fall colored sand which can help relax those fingers before tracing the same words on THESE cards. It’s learning and fun!
