Children at an early age, should begin to develop the strength in their hands and fingers. By doing this, it will start the process of writing, cutting and creative drawings. The development of this process will only benefit the child to a great beginning in his or her education. Using play dough is a great tool to increase the strength in a child’s hand and fingers. Rolling and forming shapes will certainly be a fun way to begin the learning process. Other tools would be to let the child under adult direction, paint with a large handle paint brush. After drying, help the child to cut the picture into sections and then glue the pieces back together to create the original picture. Have fun and always enjoy your child.
