This year I have young three years old. Using kinetic sand will improve their fine motor development. Kinetic sand is a hands-on material so, yeah, it can help develop fine motor skills, sensory processing, drawing and pre-writing skills, creative thinking, pretend play, speech and language development, also increase attention and sense of calm. Poke it or pinch it to further develop those index fingers skills. Scoop it or cut it to practice grasping and using tools such as spoons, ice cream scoops and knives. Drawing and pre-writing skills before kids are old enough to use a pencil to learn to write they should be given opportunities to practice their drawing and pre-writing skills in multi-sensory materials. Kinetic sand is perfect for this! Kids can use their fingers or tiny tools such as Q-tips, or the on brush end of a paintbrush to scribble, doodle or draw shapes or pre-writing strokes.
