What activities increase fine motor skills?
Fine motor activities are any activity that focus primarily on hand and finger muscles.
The small muscles in the hand are important for writing and many other basic life skills.
Fine motor activities range from squeezing to pulling, threading to cutting, pinching to pushing to tearing and drawing.
Many crafts are full of fine motor skills practice, but there are also many simple activities that focus on these small hand muscles.
