PRESCHOOL FINE MOTOR ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

Why do I use these preschool fine motor activities instead of just tracing lines and using worksheets? 

Young children including older toddlers, preschoolers, and even kindergarteners thrive on play and hands-on activities. Yes, the older a child gets the more worksheets become necessary and the change over to more pencil time is expected. However, there are so many amazing activities to develop fine motor skills in the early years. Keeping it light and playful in the beginning can help prepare your child for a successful transition when the time is right. Read, Why I Gave Up Trying to Teach My Child How to Write.
