Hi , 

It is important to help your child develop fine motor control, which means providing them opportunities to strengthen their small muscles (think: hands and fingers, mainly). The skills they begin to develop during the preschool years will help them immensely when they begin to work on Kindergarten learning tasks later on.

That’s because in kindergarten, they will need to be able to draw and color, write with a pencil, color with crayons, and manage things like scissors and glue. They will be completing activities such as tracing and writing letters and numbers, manipulating paper and scissors to construct crafts, and turning pages in picture books.

Having good fine motor skills helps them to succeed in all those things. Besides that, having good control with their hands will help them succeed as they’re learning new everyday life skills too.
