The early 3’s are working on their pinching, but not in the way you might think! We are working on using our pincher fingers to build our fine motor muscles. Many self-help skills like buttoning and zipping require a tight pinch, using the thumb and first two fingers. We practiced using pincher fingers when we picked up cotton balls and glued them to our sheep!
We took our pinching a step farther when we pinched clothespins open to hang our farm animals up to dry!
