Fine motor skills

My little one loves stickers (currently 20months). She finds the larger stickers easier to handle but is starting to develop the fine motor skills for the small stars. This is an activity is good for her fine motor skills and for copying patterns.
I have made a simple pattern of stars on Word and brought a cheap packet of stars from Wilkos (55p for 500+)

This can also be used to learn shapes and and colours. 

Stickers on there own are great but I find that once they have enjoyed the initial excitement of stickers the activity can lack direction so these ideas provide more focused tasks.
