Grabbing, pinching, and squeezing are not the only ways to build fine motor skills. The list of activities the students could do to build fine motor skills spans from dressing, eating, picking up, building, beading, hammering, spinning, scooping, poking, dropping, sorting, tracing, writing, coloring, mouse manipulation, and cutting just to name a few. Can't you just imagine all the hands (and fingers)-on learning activities teachers and parents at home could come up with?
Who doesn't love the calming effects of playing with a ball of playdough, that also builds the foundational skills needed to be ready to write, draw, and cut?
We want our students to be able to express themselves with pictures, labels, and simple letters and words. It is great to be able to write your name as the proud owner of your creative work. Please consider giving us the tools to make this happen.
