I have never seen so many children needing fine motor skills; hand-eye coordination. Many children come into my classroom unable to hold pencil correctly, or even pull up pants. Why not learn fine motor skills through art and imagination. Children can't learn new skills unless the materials are available for them. With the help of stickers kids can use their hands to pull off the stickers and outline their names and even letters and numbers. All children love stickers! Children need paper and markers to learn to write and blocks for hand-eye coordination. Some children come in needing large items at first to gain the fine motor skills needing for writing and using smaller finger movements. A Lego area is a good way to encourage using their hands before they begin writing. When combined with increasing hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills also open new doors to exploration, learning, and creative expression. I The following are a few fine motor skills that a preschooler will learn while in preschool: • paste things onto paper • clap hands • touch fingers • button and unbutton • work a zipper • build a tower of 10 blocks • complete puzzles with five or more pieces • manipulate pencils and crayons well enough to color and draw • copy a circle or cross onto a piece of paper • cut out simple shapes with safety scissors Learning fine motor skills is more complex then running and walking for most preschoolers We have to give them time and resources to master such skills.
