The development of fine motor skills is an important component of overall child development. Due to the increase in the dexterity of the child's fingers, the correct formation of the speech apparatus occurs, the baby begins to speak faster, learns knowledge more easily and masters manual skills. What methods can help you develop fine motor skills quickly and quietly?
Useful games
Most babies are big fans of grabbing, touching, crushing or tearing. Many parents try to rid their child of these habits, but in vain. Translate the desire of children to act with their hands for good.
In the process of actions with the fingers, the active work of the speech centers of the child's brain begins. Don't limit your baby. Prepare items that you do not mind, let the child crumple and tear them with pleasure. The finer the pieces end up, the better.
You can play with different items. Exercises with cereals, beads, coins perfectly contribute to the formation of fine motor skills. You can play such games with children over three years old and only under the supervision of adults. For babies, manufacturers have already come up with a lot of special soft toys that are filled with small balls inside.
Drawing and modeling
Children's plasticine is an excellent tool for the development of fine motor skills. Give preference to a sculpting mass that is made from safe materials, kneads easily and does not dry out. Invite your child to mold a favorite toy, animal, fairytale character. Kids can simply knead the plasticine in their hands, any actions with their fingers with effort help to form speech.
Drawing should be unusual. Try to paint a picture together not with an ordinary brush, but with your fingers. Even the smallest can do this. Surprisingly, the drawings are no worse. And the benefits of such drawing are much greater.
Toys with laces and buttons
Get ready-made toys equipped with laces and large buttons. While practicing to fasten, unbutton, hit with a button in a loop or a lace in a hole, a child unnoticed for himself trains manual skills. In a playful way, the baby acquires the necessary skills, and the mother - some free time.
Natural material
Children are very fond of collecting cones, chestnuts, acorns. Going into nature in autumn, do not forget to collect a lot of forest gifts. At home, be sure to dry all the collected material, put it in an elegant box and put it in the nursery. You may think, but from simple things the kid can come up with many different crafts. Even simple shifting of forest "treasures" from place to place is of great importance.
To develop fine motor skills, it is not at all necessary to buy special benefits, which are not cheap. Scrap materials, used correctly, have the same effect. Turn on your imagination, show your baby how to interact with objects around. Your desire and his curiosity will guarantee the success of the child's future development.
