What Fine Motor Gifts Enrich The Development Of The...

4 - 6 Month-Old Child?

To find out, let's check what these skills allow her to do.

She uses both arms and hands to reach, with good aim, that toy she has her eyes on. She even moves a small toy from one hand to another.

Almost everything his hands grasp ends up in his mouth because he senses textures better with his mouth than his hands.

She gives you a little squeeze now as she holds your hand. That type of grasp helps her pick up a spoon or cup by the handle so she can bang in on a table…noise to help her auditory skills.

He’s gone from swiping at a toy to grasping it accurately. Now when you put the Cheerios on the tray, he scoops them up easily to feed himself.

She likes to hold a spoon of her own while you feed her, and will sometimes attempt to help you.

So what gifts enrich his these skills? Some are inexpensive and readily available around the house...plastic bowls to stack, old magazines to turn pages, or magnets to take off the refrigerator...just to name a few.

This curious tyke will find countless items with which to entertain himself.

Gift suggestions could be textured stack toys, activity balls, blocks...anything that encourages use of hands and fingers.



How do his fine motor skills develop the rest of this first year? Let's move on to find out....
