Fine motor skills can be defined as small muscle movements: those that occur in the finger, in coordination with the eyes. They won’t develop over-night, but with time and practice. Fine motor skills involve the small muscles of the body that enable such functions as writing, grasping small objects, and fastening clothing. They involve strength, fine motor control, and dexterity. These skills are important in most school activities as well as in life in general. Weaknesses in fine motor skills can affect a child’s ability to eat, write legibly, turn pages in a book, and perform personal care tasks such as dressing. Fine motor skills are a main focus in our toddler and early 3’s programs and on into the preschool and PreK programs.
