Busy Hands : Alphabet Fine Motor Play

Super excited to write the first post on "Busy Hands Series". In this series we will concentrate on fine motor activities for toddlers and preschoolers. Important caution: Materials used or suggested in this series may include small items and children are most likely to choke on small objects when they're between 6 months and 3 years old. Hence adult supervision is required all the time when doing these kinda activities with your kids.

The importance of fine motor skill is a well known fact and I need not discuss about that in this space. And remember 'Every child is different', and they develop differently.

This activity was initiated by LO and I just clicked the photos. You need a foam alphabet puzzle and grab some pile of whatever you have to fill the letters. We used red beans but you could use beads, dry split beans, corn kernels, dry beans or any other small item.

You can use this activity to practice letter recognition. You can call out a letter and ask your preschooler to fill the letter with beads/ beans.










Fine motor skills aid in the growth of intelligence and develop continuously throughout the stages in human development.

Happy Parenting😊
