Fine Motor Skills.
They are often for communication purposes, both functional and expressive, e.g. writing or typing text, manipulating tools or creating works of art.
Between the ages of three and five children usually make rapid progress in developing fine motor skills and manual dexterity. However, these skills still require time, patience and plenty of practice. Fine motor skills include:
- Ocular motor control – the ability of the eyes to follow and focus on an object in the field of vision as required.
- Hand-eye co-ordination – the ability to execute activities with the hands, guided by the eyes requiring accuracy in placement, direction, and spatial awareness.
- Foot-eye co-ordination – the ability to execute actions with the feet, guided by the eyes.
- Manual dexterity –the ability to accurately manipulate the hands and fingers for neat handwriting, drawing, typing skills etc.
- Stereognosis – the ability to recognise unseen objects using the sense of touch.
- Tactile perception – the interpretation of information transmitted via the fingertips to the brain.
In order for children to develop good fine motor skills, there are also other supporting skills that need to be well-developed. For instance children need to have strength and dexterity in their hands and fingers before being required to hold a pencil correctly and begin writing activities. This can help avoid incorrect pencil grips.
Developing Fine Motor Skills
Remember, that each individual has their own unique strengths and weaknesses. I believe that in life, we all need to learn to improve our weak areas to an acceptable standard, compensate for them where necessary while focusing on, developing and enjoying our strengths and talents.
No one is good at everything. The object of these stimulating activities, is to help your child develop each area to her unique potential, not to over-stimulate or try and develop super-babies!
The following are suggestions of activities you can do with your child to develop fine motor skills. They are aimed at 3-5 year olds, but since this is a wide range, you should adapt them according to your child's proficiency.
1.2 Tearing paper into fine strips – use them for collage or crumple them into balls.
1.3 Screwing up whole pieces of newspaper in one hand at a time to develop strength.
1.4 Threading beads or macaroni onto string.
1.5 Lacing activities.
1.6 Cutting out with scissors, using the correct grip.
1.7 Manipulating clothes pegs to pick up small objects.
1.8 Performing fingerplays.
1.9 Preschool Sewing Activities are an excellent way to develop fine motor skills.
2.1 Finger painting or manipulating other liquids with the fingers and hands e.g. slushy mud, tomato sauce (ketchup) on a plate
2.2 Picking up small objects with the fingers, like pegboard pegs, rice grains etc.
3.1 Wheelbarrow walking, crab walking, hanging on playground apparatus to develop strength of the upper body.
3.2 Working on a vertical surface such as a blackboard or easel which requires the wrist to be bent back is good for developing fine motor skills.
An upright surface encourages a stable wrist position to develop good thumb movements, strengthen fine motor muscles and encourages the use of both the arm and shoulder muscles.
If you don’t have a blackboard or easel, tape some newsprint to the wall and have your child draw and scribble on that.
Let her draw large circles, using each hand respectively. Let her draw lines right across the sheet from top to bottom, diagonally and horizontally in both directions, using each hand respectively.

Manakala utk phonics pula angah sambung dgn buku short vowel a.
Skrg ni angah juga suka sgt menulis. Dia akan tulis apa saja. Biasanya bila dia terfikirkan atau terlihat sesuatu benda, dia akan cuba mengeja dan tulis. Alhamdulillah, skrg ni mama tgk angah semakin cekap menulis dan bacaan dia juga semakin lancar.

Skrg ni pun dia suka sgt bertanya ttg kisah2 nabi dan ttg Allah (sbb dia selalu dgr along duk tanya ttg ni dgn mama). Kadang2 tu pening kepala juga nak cari cara utk terangkan supaya angah mudah faham dan sesuai dgn tahap umur dia.
ADIK
Writing & Fine motor skill.
Writing practice. Trace the lines from top to bottom.
Number & Shape.
Adik dah belajar sblm ni ttg shape dan colour dan minggu ni mama khususkan pada bentuk circle dan colour pink. Mama gunakan teaching tool yg baru ni. Kenalkan bentuk dan warna tersebut. Kemudian kami sama2 mencari dan padankan shape tersebut dgn benda2 dlm rumah ni yg berbentuk circle dan yg berwarna pink. Seronok sgt adik bila dia tgk mama juga sibuk mencari brg sambil lari2 macam dia. Tapi kita jugak la yg penat. Sekarang ni bila dia nampak je apa2 benda bentuk circle, dia akan sebut...circle... sambil tangannya buat pusing2 bentuk circle....contohnya bila dia tengok jam.
Alhamdulillah, anak2 cukup seronok dgn aktiviti2 yg mama sediakan utk HS kami. Setiap masa bersama anak2 mama akan cuba utk mengajar dan mendidik anak2. Secara langsung atau secara tak langsung. Ilmu dunia juga ilmu akhirat. Insya-Allah. Mama akan cuba selagi mama mampu.
