Fine Motor Skills Games and Activites

Fine motor skills involve the small muscles of the body that enable functions such as writing, grasping small objects, and fastening clothing. Fine motor skills involve strength, fine motor control, and dexterity. Fine motor 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, use a computer, turn pages in a book, and perform personal care tasks such as dressing and grooming. If your child has delayed fine motor development work on strengthening that area.
