Rubber Ducky

Worksheet Description

This charming lacing card, in the shape of a friendly rubber duck, offers preschoolers a playful and educational experience to enhance their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The bright yellow duck with its inviting smile encourages children to engage in the activity, providing a fun way to practice precision and patience. To prepare the card, adults can assist the children by cutting out the duck shape and laminating it to ensure longevity, allowing for repeated use.

Once ready, children can use a shoelace or string to weave through the pre-punched holes, tracing the outline of the duck. This process helps children develop an understanding of spatial relationships as they navigate the lace around the card. Additionally, the task of lacing promotes concentration and offers a practical exercise in problem-solving as children figure out how to pass the lace through each hole successfully. This hands-on activity is not only enjoyable but also serves as an excellent tool for preparing young learners for tasks that require more dexterity, such as tying shoes or sewing. The lacing card is an ideal addition to any preschool learning module, combining creative play with essential developmental skills.
