Onigiri Hole Punch Activity Sheets

Introduce your little ones to a fun and engaging fine motor skill activity featuring adorable Japanese “onigiri!” Onigiri are delicious rice balls, a popular and beloved snack in Japan, often enjoyed at picnics, lunches, or as quick, nutritious treats. These cute, triangular-shaped rice balls wrapped in seaweed are not only tasty but also a charming symbol of Japanese food culture.

This printable hole-punching activity sheet is designed specifically for young children from around 18 months old. The activity is straightforward and simple to prepare:

First, an adult cuts out the outlines of the cute onigiri shapes using scissors. Then, children use a child-sized single-hole punch to carefully punch holes at the indicated dots. This fun activity helps kids develop important fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration.

You can easily purchase a child-sized single-hole punch at stationery stores or online. We recommend printing the sheets on sturdy A4-sized cardstock for repeated play and increased durability.

The playful and friendly onigiri designs will instantly captivate your child’s attention, providing both enjoyment and a wonderful sense of achievement when they proudly say, “I did it by myself!”
