Fine motor skills are crucial for preschoolers as they enable them to perform everyday tasks like dressing, feeding themselves, and writing, fostering independence and contributing to their overall development. These skills, which involve small muscles in the hands and fingers, also support cognitive and academic growth by facilitating activities like drawing, cutting, and manipulating small objects. Our preschoolers were able to practice their fine motor skills this week using Cheerios to decorate their starfish. They did so well using their little pinchers as they placed them on their artwork. Fun & learning all in one makes it a win!
