Easter is coming to town, and I prepared an Easter tracing activity for Jenn. Tracing activity involves the small muscles of hand, which also is very useful to develop their fine motor skill. Jenn still can't draw the line perfectly, but I believe it takes some time to let her draw exactly on the dots.
