Fine Motor Skill Tuning

If you watch the boys play with their toy trains very long, you can see them flex their fine motor skills. We have also used puzzles, play dough, and wooden blocks effectively to reach many of our three-year-old fine motor goals. Unfortunately though, Davey and Benji haven’t really shown much interest thus far in drawing and coloring. In the coming year, we have plans to find more ways to stir their interest in more paperwork. Sandy has found Thomas the Train coloring pages. We are hoping that will inspire their attention and help us teach them how to master: drawing circles, squares and crosses; copying some capital letters; drawing a person with two to four body parts; using scissors; cutting on a line; and finger painting. They can do it if they try.
