Fine Motor Friday

Happy Friday!

I recently found a fine motor activity that I want to share with you.  Fine Motor skills involve the coordination of small muscles in the hands and fingers.  It is necessary to practice these skills so that children have success in school.

How can children practice these skills?

  • Cutting
  • Writing with markers, chalk or pencils
  • Using a fork and spoon
  • Lacing
  • Zipping
  • Buttoning
  • Tying shoe laces



Creative Teaching Press (CTP) has a link to a fine motor Valentine Activity that involves cutting, pasting and drawing.  Children can enjoy developing their fine motor skills with this activity.  Simply click here:  Valentine Activity



Have a beautiful weekend.
