Fine motor skills are the ability to use small muscles in the hands, fingers, and wrists for precise movements. These skills are crucial for everyday tasks like writing, using scissors, buttoning clothes, and eating with utensils. They develop gradually throughout childhood and continue to improve with practice.
At AISSMS Nursery School, we know that the little things—like learning to hold a crayon, zip a jacket, or stack blocks—are actually big steps in a child’s development. These fine motor skills, which involve small movements of the hands, fingers, feet, and toes, are key to helping kids improve hand-eye coordination and manage everyday tasks on their own. We support this growth through age-appropriate activities that not only prepare our students for academic tasks like writing and drawing but also encourage creativity and boost their confidence as they learn to do things independently.
