Developing fine motor skills is a precursor to properly holding/using a pencil, tying shoes, using scissors, buttoning one’s own buttons…the list goes on. These muscles must be exercised and used to their fullest potential in order to develop further. Today, we used child friendly tweezers and pinching to put cotton balls onto our Halloween ghosts. We worked on squeezing the cotton ball between the tweezers and dropping it in the desired spot. We also pinched the cotton balls to pull them apart. We had a spooktacular time!
