Why Are Fine Motor Activities Important?
Fine motor skills are important for early childhood development because strong fine motor skills help kids feed themselves, grasp objects, and master handwriting. Your child will need to practice fine motor skills to master zipping, buttoning, and tying his shoes. Plus, accomplishing these tasks helps kids build self-esteem and confidence.
As preschoolers learn to hold a pencil properly and master pre-writing strokes, their fine motor skills will get even stronger! You can help kids practice these important skills at home with fun activities and printable spring fine motor worksheets too. Keep reading to discover five fine motor skills you can practice right at home while having fun this spring.

When we think about fine motor skills, we usually think about tying shoes and handwriting. However, there are all kinds of crucial fine motor skills your child will want to master. Here are a few more ideas for practicing fine motor skills at home this spring:
Dialing the Phone
Learning to dial numbers on the telephone is an important skill that saves the day during an emergency. You can help your preschoolers build fine motor skills and practice number identification as they learn to type out their number and emergency numbers.

Mastering keys and locks is another important task that will help your preschoolers to develop fine motor skills too. This Montessori Lock and Key Tray* is a fun way to expose your preschoolers to this new skill and help them master fine motor skills like operating locks and keys in the process.
