Fine motor skills are the ability to make movements using the small muscles in our hands and wrists. We rely on these skills to do key tasks in school, at work, and in everyday life. These skills are especially important for writing and holding a pen or pencil, which is why it is crucial to build up the strength of the small muscles in your child’s hands. Many young children struggle with proper letter formation and handwriting that is illegible, and if their fine motor skills are not properly developed this will only get worse as it becomes necessary to write for longer periods of time.
There are a number of things you can do to help your child strengthen the muscles in their hands, including letting them play with clay, giving them a clothes peg to open and close between their thumb and fingers, or placing an elastic band around the tips of all their fingers and thumb on one hand and letting them stretch the elastic open and closed. Another great tool to strengthen the muscles in your child’s hands is squeezing a stress ball, they will not even realise they are working out!
At the end of the day, one of the best ways to improve your child’s fine motor skills with regards to their pencil grip and handwriting is … practice, practice, and some more practice. These free printable worksheets will give your little one ample opportunity to have fun while developing these essential skills.
