Jingle Bell Pencil

jingle-bell-pencil

Jingle bell pencil is a super simple idea that promotes fine motor skill practice and handwriting fun. Have the child string some jingle bells on to a pipe cleaner. Wrap the pipe cleaner and bells around the pencil. Start your musical writing!

If the child is distracted by the bells while handwriting (or if it will drive the teacher insane – haha), use the Jingle Bell Pencil to play warm up games.  Move your Jingle Bell Pencil is different directions and see if the child can mimic your actions.  Create musical patterns with the pencil – slow ringing, fast ringing, etc and see if the child can copy it.  Air write the letters with the Jingle Bell Pencil.  Get creative!
