Fine motor abilities help children coordinate their hand movements and are critical to building other learning skills. It's an essential part of growth and development in a child. The development of these skills is an important foundation for the success of other important skills in the future such as writing, drawing, and self care. The best way I can set my students up for success is by offering multiple, creative, ways for them to develop these skills. In kindergarten, these skills are best practiced during center time. The children will use Legos to build stem projects, letters and words. Children manipulate theraputty by finding objects hidden within it. These objects can then be sorted, counted, or used to build patterns. Geoboards will be used to build shape. Kinetic sand will be placed in the sensory table. Sensory play helps to build nerve connections in the brain's pathways, which will help the children complete more complex learning tasks later in life. As you can see, a variety of academic skills are being learned as fine motor skills are developing.
