Fine motor skills are so important, without them we would find doing everyday tasks such as doing up buttons and fastenings, cutting, self-care, feeding and writing (to name a few) impossible. Therefore it is really important that we help children from an early age to develop the smaller hand muscles so that they can perform these tasks. Without them a child’s self esteem can suffer, as they can’t develop their independence.
