Fine Motor Skills Development: Here's a Fun Way to Improve Your Child's Fine Motor Skills

Some kids need extra help developing their fine motor skills, but you don't want to make it feel like work. Here’s a fun way to work on your child’s fine motor skills. Take small objects like:

  • coins
  • counting bears 
  • plastic bugs
  • LEGOs
  • marbles

"Bury" the items inside a container filled with Play-Doh. Your child will have to dig through the dough to retrieve all of the objects. If you want to make it more challenging, use Silly Putty instead of Play-Doh. This is a good activity to get kids used to textures they may be averse to, as well. Note: Small items can be choking hazards for small children. Adult supervision is required!
