Hey guys,

Here's a quick setup for this morning’s activity.

We did some line tracing on spirals and other different shapes with loose parts as a pre-writing/sensory activity.

All children develop as individuals. Activities that develop a child's control of the small muscles of the hands (fine motor skills) allow children to make the precise movements necessary for forming letters and improve hand/eye coordination.
Straight, zig zag, and curved lines are all appropriate to practice around age 3.

Again, tracing is an effective way to teach handwriting. By having your child trace shapes and maze-like paths from left to right, top to bottom, or through jagged and curvy lines, you can help your child develop fine motor control. This can also help her learn how to orient her movements from top to bottom and left to right. [source]

You can draw different lines to trace to help practice the directionality skills children will need later to write all the different letters! I think this is the first stage towards writing.

Then the child should draw these lines using a pen/crayon.

And only then the graphic signs would be next.

This activity helps to boost fine motor skills and promote good eye-hand coordination, atention/concentration for toddlers.

I would even add creativity, as he has the free choice to use these decorative glass pebbles. You can combine them in colors or use a single color. It is interesting to note their choices in such activities.

If you don't have these glass pebbles, you can use pompoms, flowers, nuts & beans or colored beans, colored pasta, buttons etc.

We even did some Numbers Tracking Line cause you know that my little one loves numbers so why not?

Btw, for this activity you only need white paper, a marker and some little objects. You can use even pebbles you and your child picked it up from outside. Or leaves...

If you try this, let me know! For us was a really hit and my toddler asks me from time to time especially this activity! I guess it's because he likes the pebbles:d

Thanks for reading guys!

Missdeli ❤️
