Pre-writing

With the objective of developing fine motor skills, 3 year old children made this exercise of tracing to promote eye-hand coordination. It helps to strengthen the muscles needed for fine motor control.

First, the teachers demonstrate the way to grasp the pencil using the “pencil grip” in which the pencil is held between the thumb and the first two fingers. Tracing, colouring, and working on art are all activities that will help develop fine motor control.
