Peek A Boo in Nursery

Our little ones benefit from experiences that support the development of fine motor skills in the hands and fingers.
Paper tearing is a simple and fun task that we sometimes take for granted, but it can actually do a lot for the children’s fine motor skills.
Tearing paper can be fun! Children should have strength and dexterity in their hands and fingers before being asked to manipulate a pencil on paper. Working on dexterity and strength first can eliminate the development of an inappropriate pencil grasp, which is becoming more commonplace as young children are engaged in writing experiences before their hands are ready.

We at Nursery  had an activity of tearing newspapers, where newspapers were given to the children and they were asked to tear them. Paper tearing is actually an important skill toddlers need to learn. It is through this that they eventually learn to cut, write and draw.
