Students participate in a variety of activities to increase their small motor development which directly impacts their ability to hold a pencil and write. What can you do at home? Play Where is Thumpkin, like these brave ladies that lead our class in the song, play with legos, playdough, have small pencils for writing (golf pencils and broken crayons are great, they help with control), rip paper for crafts, and peel stickers for sticker books. These muscles are often forgotten, but are essential in maintaining a successful hand grip in writing.
