Summer Lacing Cards

Are you looking for an activity to occupy those little ones this summer? Printable lacing cards are a perfect way to have fun and keep up those fine motor skills with your children off this summer.

I’m sure no one wants to be thinking about school right now but it doesn’t mean you can throw in some activities to help your child rather than have them sit in front of the TV all day.

Create these summer lacing cards at home. All you need is a printer and paper to get this going and you’ll have a fun activity for your little one to practice their fine motor skills.

If your child isn’t a fan of lacing cards, my son wasn’t, he found it to be a difficult activity for him so he hated it.

I would race him, I’d get my own lacing card and we’d see who could finish first.

I like lacing cards as it prepares them to learn how to tie their own shoelaces, something that took longer for my boys to do but was picked up much quicker by my daughter.
