Fine motor skills are so crucial for the child to learn to write. Maria Montessori also pointed out that development of fine motor is directly connected to the development of the brain. Many fine motor activities are practical and represent work that is usually done in real life. This is the reason why it is quite simple for parents and teachers to create practical fine motor learning experiences – most of the time they use objects and things found at home and everyday items.
Fine Motor activities can be divided into several different types. Let’s have a look at some examples of matching, grading and sorting. Simple grains, buttons, small manipulatives like beads and marbles will do a great job. These types of activities always should be done with adult’s supervision as it can be a choking hazard.
