Hi, I'm Shalila about with Childcareland.com and today I want to share with you Tissue Paper names. This is a great fine motor skills development activity as well as a name recognition activity. You need to have Tissue Paper and the child's name written out, I use cardstock paper and I do have a template of this of a blank rectangle that you can choose to write the child's name in and then we just glue that on to a piece of cardstock paper but you can use construction paper as well. So you have a blank template and then you will write the child's name on it. I do recommend leaving spaces in between the letters so the children or the child has room to work on the letters that are in his or her name. And it's a very simple concept. The child would have their name on here and either you or the child would outline and you don't have to have a lyricistic, I just did this for video purposes. Would outline their name with glue. They could do one letter of time or do all the letters with glue and then they would take their pieces of Tissue Paper that have been cut into squares about 1 inch by 1 inch in size. They can choose their own colors and then they would simply crinkle the Tissue Paper into a little ball and then they would press it on the letters and they would fill in their whole name until it's all filled in. This is going to be one of those activities where the children's fingers are going to get a little bit of glue on them so make sure you have something available to them to what the fingers are if they feel uncomfortable with that feeling on their fingers. Some children do, some children doesn't bother them but you always want to make sure for the ones that they don't like it that they are able to clean their hands off before the end of the activity if they need to. And so you can kind of get the general idea. You just crinkle it into a small ball and then go all the way through the names until you have the name filled in. But again excellent activity for fine motor skills development. You'll find that some of the letters won't be as legible as others but that's not really the point of the activity. The activity is to get the eye hand coordination to find more skills and then for the children to recognize their own names.
