My Project

Handwriting Builds Motor Skills

Preschoolers are still developing motor skills, especially fine motor skills, which is the ability to use the small muscles in our hands and wrists and improve dexterity.

Using scissors, building with blocks, and handwriting are all excellent ways to develop fine motor skills. Gripping the pencil strengthens the muscles in the hand and fingers while forming the letters improves control over the small muscles and creates a stronger bond between the brain and the hands. Of course, small children aren’t expected to have fine penmanship, but most preschoolers can start with simple shapes, lines, and tracing letters. Over time, you’ll see your child favor one hand over the other.
