There are many ways that our little learners participate throughout the day. We love watching them grow and develop. Everyday it seems we see growth. Young children develop confidence in writing when they are included in real writing activities and have many exploring opportunities. Below are some of the activities we have done recently.
She HAS to keep up with the big kids! She got a noodle and tried coloring on the table...so we gave her a crayon and paper since SHE knew what she wanted to do! Wow! Not only is she practicing her fine motor skills, she is getting familiar with text and writing utensils! At the same time, she is learning that she can communicate ideas through pictures or symbols.
Painting? Why not? Little ones love to express themselves and have fun seeing the changes that occur on paper when first discovering paint. This is another way to encourage younger children to communicate and explore. These pictures, squiggles, and lines are the beginnings of their writing.
We provide many opportunities for our toddlers to develop the physical skills that will be needed for future writing. In order for children to be able to control tools like pencils and markers, they must develop motor coordination in their hands. We encourage the children through several hands-on activities such as: stacking blocks, puzzle work, finger painting, and Playdough play. These will help develop the necessary fine-motor skills needed for writing.
