What are Fine Motor Skills? |
|
|
Fine motor skills are small movements, usually of the hands, that are used for every day tasks. |
||
|
Children use fine motor skills for eating, dressing and school related activities such as writing, drawing, coloring, cutting, gluing and even opening a locker door. Delays in fine motor skills can impact all facets of a child's daily life. |
|
||
 |
Children develop fine motor skills through play and activities. They must, however, be exposed to the proper types of toys and experiences to develop their hands and to develop the refined movements required for fine motor tasks. | ||
