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.

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.
