Fine Motor Skills: Activities for Little Hands

Without us really even thinking about it, we begin working on fine motor skills with our little ones. From the time they are babies, fine motor activities are naturally woven into their daily routine.

[{"selector":"#anim-646c8455-5825-4d30-986b-a9559b133c35","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-64abfebb-991a-4a04-98e3-a223b58eb972","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 167.33455%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

And as my kids have gotten older, I have enjoyed providing them with even more opportunities to practice these skills.

[{"selector":"#anim-fdcdb51f-d8ff-4629-9e24-f399cec3e117","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6a397abe-ed4e-4807-8dc8-aa5a2f2cf28c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.01869%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-faf1be82-4fc1-46e1-8441-e23dfa80f39d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e686e9f5-34f2-4b7f-970e-79057abc6c71","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-8deg) translate3d(0px, -176.04314%, 0) rotate(8deg)","rotate(-8deg) translate3d(0px, 0px, 0) rotate(8deg)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

The letter mats from ABC Jesus Loves Me have been perfect for teaching letter recognition and more. I printed mine on heavy cardstock and laminated them, and we have used them over and over again.

[{"selector":"#anim-ff91b91b-2137-4937-83b4-35541db62ffd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-35007327-2cde-4cc0-97b2-317cce6a2470","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6d3bdd3b-32f6-480c-96f0-038aebe3c69a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.45206%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-004357a1-d5c0-4811-8cab-0f669180bbe4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a2c82c60-8131-4cde-b3be-0fb09acb9972","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.9847%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

Along with these mats, we have used a variety of objects to explore the shape of each letter with rolling out and shaping play dough being a favorite for strengthening little hands.
