Celebrate October with free fine motor mats that let students build letters and numbers using candy corn, pom-poms, or connecting cubes for hands-on learning.

Print and laminate the mats for long-term use.
Provide students with candy corn, pom-poms, or cubes as building tools.
Add the mats to a fall-themed sensory bin for extra engagement.
Rotate between letter and number mats to practice multiple skills.
Pair with dry erase markers for tracing after building.
