Here are some more ways you can encourage kids to exercise and strengthen those important small finger muscles, so necessary for writing.

1. Do string play activities.
2. Do puzzles that require her to pick up small pieces and move them to their correct position.
3. Shell peas.
4. Work that play dough - give her beads and buttons to exercise those muscles.
5. Practice tying shoe laces. It may be frustrating at first, but every time she tries to lace them up, she’s working those very important muscles.
