Fine Motor Practice
As a mom and teacher I have seen the importance of helping children develop their fine motor skills at a young age. Development of these skills happens well before they need to have the correct pencil grip, or cut out a picture. Start giving your children and students plenty of opportunities to manipulate small objects with their fingers. This little activity is perfect for preschoolers and Kindergarteners. It allows them to use those fine motor skills while focusing on letters and letter formation. So bust out your mini erasers from Target, pom poms, dry erase markers, PlayDoh, or any small manipulative and have a blast.

I agree! Children need to learn to use scissors as well!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Fine motor development is important for so many skills.
DeleteYou'd be surprised how many children lack this skill in middle school. :) Thanks for a great post.
ReplyDeleteIt is a skill that can sometimes be overlooked. Definitely an important part of a child’s development.
ReplyDeleteSuper important skill, and one I find as a tutor working on with students as late as middle school! Sometimes they fail to pass their fluency tests in math because they just can't write fast and clear enough!
ReplyDeleteFine motor skills need to be developed at an early age as so many other skills require it!
