Fine Motor Skills Activities: Transferring Beans

Fine Motor development is defined as the building of the small muscles located in the fingers (index, middle, and thumb) and wrists. Without the correct development of these skills, children can find everyday tasks to be difficult resulting in frustration and low self-esteem.

When beginning, children need to start with simpler fine motor activities. The goal with the simpler tasks is to build strength in the fingers and wrists while developing eye coordination.
