That'll work fine for breadboards.
I use old telephone wire myself, has 4 colors.
Good for bigger projects where neat wiring is helpful.
For the arduino headers, They'll work but the connections are a bit fiddely.

pic related makes connections quick and easy, great for experimenting, and makes good connections to the arduino headers. Just search "jumper wires" or "jumper wires breadboard"

An arduino won't power a motor directly, that'll require a switching componant like transiator, mosfet, or relay
