Walk! Run! Jump! Gallop!

Your toddler spends a lot of time working the big muscles he needs for walking and running. Equally important are the smaller muscles in his fingers, the fine motor skills. 

We use these muscles when we’re “walking” fingers, shaking eggs, rolling hands, wiggling thumbs, playing the sandblocks, even giving tickles! These activities help your toddler learn to use hands and fingers, which will lead to skills like stringing beads, turning the pages of a book, cutting with scissors, and gripping pencils.

This week have some fun with your fine motor skills.

See you next week!
