The benefits of each function
Sensory Pad
Tension Bands
Sensory Pad
Manipulating the gel in a sensory gel pad can help develop fine motor skills by strengthening the hands and improving coordination. The gel's resistance helps build strength and coordination in the hands. Sensory play can also help children understand different textures and develop fine motor skills like: Grip, Grasp, Release, and Pressure.
Sensory gel pads can also help with:
- Relaxation
- Enhanced focus
- Tactile and visual stimulation
- Improved body awareness
- Sensory regulation
- Independent play
Buttoning
Tension Bands
Sensory Pad
Buttoning is a fine motor skill that requires the use of both hands to perform separate tasks while coordinating with each other. It also involves good pincer grasp, finger strength, and overall hand strength. Buttoning also requires visual motor skills, motor planning, and familiarity with sequence.
Tension Bands
Tension Bands
Tension Bands
The controlled resistance of tension bands allows individuals to stretch their muscles gradually, which can improve muscle flexibility without injury.
Mastery of fine motor skills requires precision and coordination.
Zipping
Handwriting
Tension Bands
Zipping can help children reinforce bilateral hand use and provide sensory stimulation. The separation of two sides of one hand, with the thumb, index, and middle fingers representing the more active part of the hand, can allow for greater strength and precision.
The benefit of zipping is strengthening the muscles and coordination in the hands in fingers to move the zipper up and down.
Handwriting
Handwriting
Handwriting
Handwriting depends on fine motor skills to control the pencil in order to form letters and to use the correct pressure on the pen and on the paper. Improving fine motor skills will also help to improve handwriting.
The motor control to produce text through drawing, mark-making and symbolic representations of letters is vital in the communication of the message. Fine motor development is essential in developing the ability to mark-make and write effectively, so that a message
can be communicated.
Lace Tying
Handwriting
Handwriting
Tying shoe laces requires strong fine motor skills including finger isolation, bilateral hand coordination, visual perceptual skills, hand-eye coordination and hand strength.
Lace tying strengthens the fine muscles and grip of fingers and also helps in enhancing hand eye coordination.
interesting facts
These functions can help your child with fine motor development.
Here are some fine motor skills that school-aged children can develop:
- Handwriting Writing becomes more automatic, fluid, and less effortful, and writing speed increases. Children can also write without ruled lines.
- Construction Children can use adult tools like hammers and saws to build simple structures with wood.
- Hand-eye coordination Playdough helps children develop strength and dexterity, and practice hand-eye coordination.
- Pincer grip Beads help children develop the correct pincer grip to maneuver and control each bead on the lace.
- Lacing Lacing helps children develop fine motor skills in a fun way, and also prepares them for learning to tie shoes.
