Want to know why preschool aged children are not quite able to write yet?















Look at the differences between a typical preschool child’s hand (left) and a typical 7 year old hand (right). Their hands are still developing and are not fully formed.


  










So what should they be doing to support this?  

PLAY!! 

Playdough, painting, coloring, cutting, gluing, playing outside, digging in dirt, sensory play, dress up play, science experiments, beading, puzzles, throwing balls, etc.  All of these things help their hands develop. When they are physically ready to write, they will! No need to rush them, they will show you when they are ready.”
