Games with Pegs and Peg Board

Using pegs and pegboards are a good way to work on fine motor skills. Add pattern cards and you can incorporate a number of visual perceptual skills also. These activities can be a great workout. Below are pegboard activities that I have blogged about. Click on a name to go to that post.
