In each manual activity that kids do, they develop their fine motor skills and reach proposed goals. The stimulation of fine motor skills helps them carry out their daily activities better; it will also facilitate the writing process.

Today’s children are so involved with technological activities that they no longer carry out activities vital for their development and the challenges they will have to face in the future. Without forgetting that, by developing motor skills, children will feel more secure when it comes to establishing social relations with other children.

Stimulating fine motor skills is not a job that belongs just to teachers. At home, children should also be helped to develop and enhance their skills. The best way to achieve this is by promoting adequate and safe spaces through eye-catching activities.

Teaching strategies allow them to develop fine movements, which will help achieve precision in everyday movements and writing processes.

For boys and girls to control their motor skills, they need knowledge, planning, coordination, and muscle strength. If this is achieved, they will cut shapes, draw, fold clothes, close zippers, etc.
