Each week we will look at a different way to develop fine motor skills. These skills are important as they help children to:
- Develop the muscles needed to write
- Enable their hands to work together
- Carry out precise and controlled movements
- Build hand and eye co-ordination
They are also ideal for children to work on independently!
Our focus today will be on using tweezers. There are lots of chunky and fun tweezers that are available for children, however normal household tweezers are ideal to use. You can even make your own from two lolly pop/chop sticks and an elastic band!
There are many, many activities that you can do using tweezers and the ones below are just a small selection. Why not look online together as a family to find some more?
