Lacing Cards Bugs – Fine Motor Threading for Preschool & Special Education

Build fine motor skills with these Bugs Lacing Cards, designed for preschool, kindergarten, and special education learners. This hands-on fine motor activity features 15 bug-themed lacing cards, offered with and without bug names, making it easy to differentiate instruction while supporting both motor development and early vocabulary.

Students will enjoy threading and lacing around familiar bugs such as an ant, bee, butterfly, caterpillar, dragonfly, ladybug, spider, and more. Clearly marked holes guide students as they lace with yarn, string, shoelaces, or pipe cleaners—strengthening hand-eye coordination, bilateral coordination, and visual tracking through purposeful play.

Cards are also included in black and white, allowing teachers and therapists to use the same resource for hole punch practice, cutting, and coloring. Whether used as a reusable lacing center or a no-prep fine motor activity, this set supports a wide range of learning needs and skill levels.
