How to Help a Toddler to Develop Writing Skills
Almost every parent knows how important role fine motor skills play in every sphere child’s life: in language development, brain development, and so on.
Writing skills are necessary in school and future life but you can make their developing easy and exiting long before school. If you train your toddler writing skills at least several times a week necessary writing in school won’t be so shocking and hard.
You don’t need nothing special for writing skills training, just some sheets of paper and pencils. And of course you have to choose a moment when a toddler isn’t tired and has desire to sit still for some minutes.
1. Draw some pairs flowers (or anything else what’s interesting to your kid) of different colors. The flowers should be mixed. Ask your child to joint flowers of the same color with line. At first the lines will be curve but every time they’ll look better.
2. The other variant we like to do is connection the dots. There are a lot of books with such exercises are on a sale but we’ve always have shortage of them.:) And I noticed that my daughter is more interested in this activity when we made such papers with exercises together.
It’s rather hard to connect all dots because it’s hard to perceive all drawing from the first glance. That’s why I draw two dots and ask her to connect them. The task is easy. When it’s done I draw another dot and she connect with it with the line. I draw the dots with the purpose to receive some object. Here you can see a Fur tree and a House.
My daughter is very happy to see the picture which is difficult for her to draw alone.
That is a game I will play with Amy, my grand daughter. Thankyou for the idea
