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.

Print out the lacing cards onto paper or cardstock, then laminate or cover in contact paper to make it more durable and hole punch it around the edges. There are 6 different pictures for your summer theme in this printable.

This is a fun and frugal activity that you can put together for your child and it can be done independently to keep them busy when you’re working with older children.

Recommended Summer Books for Kids

Pair this lacing card activity with one of your favorite summer books, just because it’s summer doesn’t mean we get to stop reading.

Continue to grow their vocabulary and reading skills with these fun summer books.

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.

Recommended Summer Toys

Summer doesn’t mean you have to be cooped up inside, get outside with these fun summer toys to get your kids moving and enjoying the warm weather.

It only lasts for a short time here in Canada so we need to soak it all up.

    Hi Monique,
    I’m sure I paid $10.00 for the membership (all receipts are sent to my accountant so I’m unable to determine this way). however, I don’t know how to sign in and get the awesome things that come with my membership. Sorry if this seems like a silly question. I’m usually very good at this but not this time lol!! Thanks for getting back with me

    Hi, do you pay a membership fee to print things on here? I didn’t see that. I am just wanting to print lacing cards and mats, things like that. I am a grammy who will be working with her granddaughter who is three. She will be learning in a playful way. I have always wanted children to love to learn. That way they are more prepared for school. I taught preschool for 19 years. I have a lot of things but love your ideas. Thank you so much for your time.

    Have a great day, Barb 🙂

      Hi Barbara,

      I have paid membership if you’d like to access my printables in one download area (https://www.livinglifeandlearning.com/membership), however, if you don’t want to do that, you’d need to go to each individual post to enter your email and the link for the pdf will be emailed to you.

      I’m so happy that you found my blog.
