If you’re looking for a creative way to promote handwriting skills, the Number Formation Workbook from Doodles Help Handwriting fits the bill. Created by an occupational therapist, this series strives to help kids practice their handwriting in a goofy, fun, and kid-friendly way. For each number introduced, kids are shown how to form the number, followed by instructions for turning that number into silly doodles: turn a 2 into a valentine, a 7 into a palm tree. Each number has two related doodles to draw. After the doodle is complete, students practice identifying the number, writing it, and tracing it. While less formal of a handwriting program, with no stroke-by-stroke practice, this series still does a great job promoting fine motor skills as kids doodle, copy, and trace.
