Development of fine motor skills – working with a pencil

The next task to develop fine motor skills will be working with a pencil

Graphics tasks. Most of these tasks are performed on prepared cards. You can purchase special notebooks, copybooks or coloring books.

We trace the contours

Place your child’s left palm on the paper, fingers facing out.
Take a pencil in your right hand and trace the outline of your palm.
Invite your child to make shading (vertical, horizontal, at an angle).
you need to shade the drawings, trying not to go beyond their contours and make uniform retreats between the lines.
Draw and outline anything that catches your eye, as long as it is interesting), and we guarantee that it will be useful!

Coloring pages

The Internet and stores are full of different coloring books for both girls and boys.

This, as it may seem at first glance, is a simple activity that develops not only fine motor skills of the hands, it teaches attention and concentration, develops creative thinking, and accuracy and perseverance.
If you don’t have a coloring book at hand, just like in the previous exercise, you can invite your child to circle his palm and paint each finger with different colors.

Connecting the dots

If you haven’t bought special notebooks with a graphic task in advance, you can work in a regular checkered notebook.
Tell your child to connect the cells using the dots you marked in advance and see what happens))
