Fine Motor Workshop

Fine Motor Workshop helped students work for the artistry of a calligrapher and the precision of a surgeon when it comes to fine motor development.

Exposure and repetition is key…try chopstick races with cotton balls, no touching with hands allowed…try working through different viscosities of clay to build hand and finger strength as you knead and roll and sculpt…try using five different types of child scissors just to get the “best feeling pair.” Then you would have a small taste of our fine motor workshop.

TRY IT: Get a piece of thick pink foam, styrofoam, or cardboard. Tack a simple black and white picture over a plain piece of paper — attach it to your foam. Use a pushpin to “dot” over the black lines, making certain to get all of the details. Remove the black and white picture to reveal the pinhole paper underneath — place it in a window to let the light shine through your work!
