Developing fine motor skills in children is incredibly important. Everyone understands the impact this will have on early writing, but this is only a tiny portion of the full picture. Fine motor skills are a central part of our lives. By developing their fine motor control, children are able to access so many more things and become confident and able people. Sewing, Embroidering, Drawing and Planning a Design are all WONDERFUL opportunities for students to practice their fine motor development. Thank you for gifting us thread, needles, hoops and tote bags. So what are the benefits of fine motor skills? As children improve their fine motor skills they develop their independence in doing a range of tasks such as eating, writing, speaking, creating, and dressing themselves. They are able to access a wider source of learning activities and social experiences. That’s the simple answer, but there is a lot more to it than that! Fine motor is an almost continual part of all our lives. Humans are continually moving, picking things up, manipulating objects, and so on. The more children are able to develop these skills, the more ably they can access the world around them.
