What are fine motor skills?
Fine motor skills use the small muscles of the hand for precision and control in activities such as grasping and manipulating objects. Some fine motor skills also include taking in visual information to produce a motor response such as stacking blocks or doing puzzles.
In babies, toddlers, and young children, fine motor skills are used in many parts of the day, including play (holding a rattle; doing a puzzle), and self-care (feeding; brushing teeth). Check out the resources below to explore different parts of fine motor skill development.
