Early Writing

We like to allow the toddlers to work with paper and pencil often.

The pencil is sometimes held differently than a crayon or paint brush.

We get to see how they hold a pencil and the marks they make.

All of this helps them with their early writing skills.

Motor Development

Small Muscle: Touch, grasp, reach and manipulate: the child will coordinate the use of his or her hands, fingers and sight in order to manipulate objects in the environment.

Early Writing: The child will demonstrate interest in writing and will develop the fine motor abilities required to hold a writing tool and make marks on a surface.
