Fine motor skills is something we have found this year James has struggled with, This is why he seems to hate writing so much!
Mummy is on a mission this summer holiday to improve James fine motor skills so when he goes back to school come September he will hopefully not struggle to hold his pencil!
Pintrest has a lot of posts on fine motor skills and how to improve them. I have started spending free time on an evening searching for little things that will help James and so far I have made him two little games.
The first game is threading straw beads onto pipe cleaners. The bits of straws have been cut into beads of different sizes to be threaded onto pipe cleaners.
The second game is similar but instead of using pipe cleaners, its a piece of wool. I'm hoping that these games will help James.
I'm also looking into making him some threading games, where he has to thread a piece of wool through holes to make patterns on shapes.
I have also made him some writing practice sheets, I'm really hoping to get him wanting to write over the summer but I'm literally not holding my breath due to his stubbornness!
This is a link to my board on Pintrest https://www.pinterest.co.uk/victoriahockley/fine-motor-skills/ so if you have any more ideas of ways I can help James leave a comment below!
