B4G Activity Book 3
In the last two packs we have focused on emotions and how to help
your child express themselves and we also looked at different activities
to help strengthen the big muscles in the body. Now it is time to focus
on getting the hand ready to write, cut and do small precise
movements, such as closing a button or pulling up a zip. These are
known as fine motor skills.

To strengthen your child’s fine motor skills, it is important to practice.
Activities like threading beads onto a string, playing with play dough,
and using child-safe scissors to cut are excellent for developing fine
motor skills. Additionally, activities like drawing, colouring within lines,
and building small puzzles can be very beneficial. Encouraging your
child to use tweezers to pick up small objects can help them get
better at being more precise and have better control with small
movements.

It’s important to remember that every child develops at their own
pace, so celebrate small wins and give much encouragement. Make
these activities fun and engaging. By turning practice into play, your
child will be more motivated to participate.
