Fine Motor Skills
Children who need help with fine motor skills will benefit from toys that exercise the small muscles in the hands as well as eye-hand coordination.
*Pegboards-large pegs are easy to grasp, yet still require the small muscles in the fingers to control the placement of pegs into holes.
*Building blocks-for beginners, non-slippery (foam) blocks will balance on top of one-another more easily than slippery wooden blocks (which may cause more frustration than encouragement).
*Shape sorters-like pegboards, will provide the eye-hand coordination and small muscles to fit shapes into their proper holes.
