In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of finger play and explore how simple hand and finger movements can have a HUGE impact on young children’s development.
We’ll talk about why finger play is so important for developing fine motor skills, how it strengthens the brain-body connection and how activities like this set the foundation for future skills like writing, drawing and even playing sports or musical instruments.
You’ll also learn some practical tips and takeaways that parents, educators and caregivers can easily incorporate into their daily routines to support children’s growth. Whether you’re a parent wanting to help your child develop strong motor skills or an educator looking for new ideas to bring into the classroom, this episode is packed with insights and actionable advice.
