Since so many children play on computers, I-phones, and I-pads they are coming to me weaker and weaker in their fine motor skills. They must have good fine motor skills to be able to hold a pencil correctly, scissors correctly and to be able to write their letters. Please let your children play with clothespins, tear newspapers, play with puzzles with knobs, play with play-dough, paint with brushes, and one of the best and non messy activities is to place a large sheet of plain paper on a wall a give them sheets of cheap stickers to create their own mural on that paper. It helps their muscles in their arm become stronger. Here they are picking up different size pom-poms with clothespins!
