Pre-Writing Skills ✏️

A pincer grasp consists of using the thumb and forefinger together to pinch or pick up items.
Developing this skill is essential when practicing the skills needed for writing.

Have fun practicing this skill! Practice your pinching, but not on each other!

Love a view looking in interpreting thoughts of a toddler🥰 As adults we can be busy with our own agenda we miss the invites to play. Reminder to self to be more present and PLAY 🤗
