Here are
some fine motor skills that BabyCenter says can help toddlers develop their
fine motor skills:
- Filling up and dumping out: J is helping to clean up, and he doesn't even know it. Yesterday, he even put the square and star-shaped pieces in their right holes.
- Dressing and undressing: Since he could sit on his own, J's been lifting and bending his arms when we're dressing/undressing him. Now that he's standing (with support), he also lifts and bends his legs when we're putting pants on him. He also lifts and bends right out of them! It's kinda a chore to get him dressed in the mornings ;). J also loves to help with the chest buckle on his car seat.
- Drawing and scribbling: I just bought a roll of craft paper and jumbo crayons for J to practice this skill at home.
- Stacking and stringing: This one J isn't doing yet.
- Poking and punching (really, we're supposed to encourage this? Haha!) He certainly bites and pinches. The pinching is funny. The biting is scary because his teeth are so sharp!
