Greetings to all parents on the pages of my blog. Many people today are talking about the importance of developing children’s fingers, but not everyone clearly understands how to develop them and how this helps the child. In fact, the development of motor skills can be easily organized at home. You don't need expensive toys for this, just five minutes of mom's time to organize games, and a good mood. On these New Year's days, I want to show you very interesting, educational and fun games for fine motor skills, which we played with our son.

Tweezer game
Magnet game

Every person needs well-coordinated movements to dress, write, and perform various everyday activities. We all know the expression “everything falls out of his hands” and sometimes what is said has a direct meaning. Fine motor skills are very important, as they develop observation, attention, thinking, coordination, visual memory, speech.

It is because of the latter that many parents think about developing these skills. A child’s speech really depends not only on, but also on the movement of his hands. Consequently, children's hands are always closely connected with speech and contribute to its development.

Believe me, even such a simple tool as children's tweezers can be played with in an interesting way. And when a mother realizes that her child is developing fine motor skills while having fun, it’s doubly pleasant.

For the first game we needed:

colored water balloons;
plastic Christmas decorations;
baby tweezers.

First, I told Alexander, he is now 4 years 1 month old, that Santa Claus asked him to help him. Children love to help so much, and what if Santa Claus himself needs it! But the point is this: the Christmas tree decorations have scattered and you need to separate them from the balls. But there is one condition - you cannot touch them with your hands. Grandfather will watch through his magic ball. Christmas tree decorations should be taken with tweezers and distributed according to color into jars. At the end of the work, screw the jars and the gnomes will take them away at night to take to Santa Claus.

Let's see what happened during this fine motor game. At first, the son took the instrument with both hands. The child is already four years old, squeezing tweezers should not be difficult for him. But I waited a little before I suggested trying to do it with one hand. After all, Christmas tree decorations are streamlined and the child first needs to feel their shape.

Do you think holding the tweezers with one hand would be more convenient? - I suggested.

And Alexander tried how his hand felt.

The process was going well and then one of the toys fell on the table! So the fun begins, because Santa Claus is watching and you can’t touch the toys with your hands.

It seems obvious to us adults how we can return a toy without touching it with our hands. The child needs to use logic, because we did not directly tell him that this action can be done with tweezers. Alexander tried to take the toy with his hand a couple of times, but then figured out how to use the tool.

Here I want to remind you that following the rules in games is important for a child’s adaptation to the rules in life. Don't run a red light, don't throw trash on the street, don't try to skip the line, sometimes we don't think that all these things are interconnected with children's games. Some people follow these rules in society with ease, as a matter of course, while for others they are like a heavy burden. I don’t have a goal to teach my son to blindly follow all the rules, I want it to be easier for him to adapt to them in life.

And then another incident occurred: one of the decorations fell into a jar with a different color. The first thing Alexander did was put tweezers into it. But the tweezers did not open wide enough to reach the Christmas tree decoration.

What to do? You can’t use your hand... this is training in a game of wits. Without hesitation, my child poured everything from the jar back into the hydrogel and began the process of arranging by color all over again. After all, you can’t touch these decorations with your hand, and no one said anything about the jars.

If you feel like it more games with water balloons, we have one that will not leave children indifferent at any time of the year. I also want to draw your attention to how to decorate a festive table using transparent hydrogel.

Games for fine motor skills with a magnet

Well, my child did an excellent job with the first task and we could have stopped there, which we would have done at the age of two or three years. But at four years old, the fun is just beginning and while the lids are not screwed on, mom quickly looks around, like a real magician takes out New Year's bells.

Just in preparation for the holidays, I purchased three packages of different sizes: large, medium and small. We also have an amazing set of magnets from Amazon that will last us many years of playing and experimenting. And today we will combine games for fine motor skills and knowledge of the properties of a magnet.

Just bells with magnets can bring any child into a state of euphoria, but you shouldn’t limit yourself to these items. Pour jingling balls of different sizes into a plastic bottle or tube, like ours, and show your child how they can “dance” along the walls if you pick them up with a magnetic field. Then put everything in the children’s hands and let the baby himself try to “guide” the metal products upward.

Pay attention to the photo, I left our plastic toys from the first game in one jar. And I added 3 jars of each size of bells. Alexander tried so hard to catch the contact between the magnet and the bells in order to bring them to the top, that only this caused tenderness!

This did not always work out and the metal balls fell down with a ringing sound, causing my son to laugh.

And here it is the moment of victory.

And then mom asks tricky question:

- What do you think, if we put it in a tube? Christmas decorations and bells, can you get them all with a magnet?
“Of course,” Alexander answers almost without hesitation.
“Well, let’s try,” and I put three jingling balls and three plastic figures into the tube.

I must make a reservation that we studied the properties of magnets in games a little later; a selection of our studies and experiments on this topic is located.

The metal, of course, ended up at the top very quickly, but my son really sweated with the jewelry. He wanted so badly to prove he was right! He twisted, tilted the tube, shook the magnet as if checking if it was broken. But as you understand, the plastic decorations remained at the bottom, and my child learned the influence of a magnet on plastic through the game.

Second educational game

But mom still doesn’t calm down:

— Our tube is made of thin plastic, but what do you think, if we put the bells in a glass jar, you can pull them out by pulling them?
“Yes,” the young experimenter does not give up.
- What if you pour water into it?
Then my child thought about it and answered less confidently:
- I probably can.

I took a glass container from coffee, poured water into it, sprinkled a pinch of dry glitter, New Year after all, on the nose. Alexander himself added the desired number of bells.

The bells responded perfectly to the magnet, even better than in a tall tube. Or maybe the child had already trained his hand and was able to do it easily. Be that as it may, the sight of the sparkles moving as the balls fell fascinated Alexander for a long time.

Game three - a wonderful box

A metal box from recently eaten cookies also came in handy for the game.

I put the bells on the lid and showed Alexander how they run along it if you direct them from below with a magnet. Of course, they immediately became racing cars that drove in circles for about twenty minutes. What a great activity for coordination!

And at the end, my musician entertained all the neighbors with cheerful music, shaking the filled box and jumping at the same time. I am absolutely not against any of their manifestations.

I hope we've filled you with anticipation. New Year's holidays and I was able to show that games for fine motor skills can be quite interesting, carry additional developmental information, and most importantly, they captivate the child. I would be very grateful if you share the article on social media. networks, just please do not copy the entire text, it is better to use the buttons below.

Summary: Fine motor skills and preparing the child’s hand for writing. Methodology for conducting classes on the development of fine motor skills. Games for developing fine motor skills.

1. Exercise with a pipette

For this exercise you will need a pipette and small containers for pouring liquid. I used bath suction toys in my work. If you turn them over reverse side, then it will be possible to drop colored water into the suction cups with a pipette.

2. Exercise with tweezers

You can place beads into the same toys with suction cups using tweezers.

3. Sorting small items

Sorting by color, shape, size of small items, such as beads.

4. Pompoms and tweezers

You need to place the pompoms into ice cube trays using tweezers.

5. Pompoms and tongs

You need to fold the pompoms into a bottle using tongs.

6. Doll clothes with clothespins

Hanging doll clothes and scraps of fabric on a string using clothespins is also a great activity for developing fine motor skills.

7. Box with clothespins

Clothespins can be attached not only to a string, but also to a cardboard box. A shoe box or gift wrapping is suitable for these purposes. To make this activity more fun and rewarding, I placed round letter stickers around the edge of the box and wrote the corresponding letters on the clothespins. The task is to find and match the letter on the clothespin with the letter on the box. You can replace letters with numbers or geometric shapes.

8. Bolts and nuts

This task will require large nuts and bolts. Task: screw a nut onto a bolt.

9. Exercise with a hole punch

You need to cut out some figure from cardboard, and then use a hole punch to make holes along the edge of this figure. Now you need to take a colored lace or ribbon and thread it through the holes.

10. Cocktail straws

Cut colorful plastic cocktail straws into small pieces. The exercise consists of stringing these pieces on a thread in a certain sequence.

Stringing beads on a thread or straw is great for developing fine motor skills.

12. Bean pattern

On a piece of cardboard, the child draws a simple image, for example, a man. After this, apply glue on the pencil lines and peck the beans. Working with small objects such as beans trains the muscles of the hand and fingers.

13. Seed sorting

Needs to be sorted various types seeds using tweezers.

14. Mosaic

An adult prepares thin strips of colored paper in advance. The child tears them into small pieces with his hands and lays them out into a mosaic, having previously smeared them with glue. This exercise is especially suitable for children who do not yet know how to use scissors.

15. Paper clips

To work you will need colored paper clips and pieces of colored paper. The child collects leaves of the same color in a stack and fastens them with a paper clip of the same color.

16. Toothpick

An adult draws a letter, number or simple drawing on a piece of paper in advance. After this, a sheet of paper is placed on the carpet, and the child must use a toothpick to pierce holes along the contour of the pattern. When the work is finished, invite the child to look at the drawing against the light.

17. Colored sand

Have your child draw a simple outline design on a piece of paper and cover it with glue. After this, grab the sand with your fingers and fill the pattern with it. Let the glue dry. At the end, you need to scrape off the excess sand from the picture.

18. Winding threads

Select small toy insects for this task in advance. You will also need white thread. The child first wraps the insect figures with threads, then winds the threads back into a skein. The threads in this exercise imitate a web, so at the same time you can tell your child about how a spider hunts insects.

19. Transfusion of liquids and more

Good day everyone!

Did you know that there are molecular, optical, magnetic and electrical tweezers in the world? Yes, they really exist and are used in various fields of modern science, but today we are not talking about them.

Hero of the review -

Wooden tweezers No. 2(size: 19.6 cm) / Montessori materials Nicolya

It is designed for educational games with children aged 1 year and older. and older.

Why № 2 ? Since there are also wooden tweezers № 1 Montessori Nicolya, which is smaller in size ( 15 cm size).

In my opinion, large tweezers are the most convenient to purchase, as they are suitable for grasping both small and large parts with a maximum size of 3-4 cm.

Montessori games with wooden tweezers

develop fine motor skills of the fingers;
prepare the child’s hands for drawing and writing;
develop perseverance;
increase the concentration of visual attention.

Wooden tweezers No. 2 Nicolya were packaged in a transparent bag with a paper insert, which contains information about the nicolya ru online store where it can be purchased.

The tweezers are made of pine, high-quality sanded, and not varnished.

Initially there was a pleasant smell of wood, now it is not so distinct (after several weeks), but it is still there.

Tweezers width - 2.5 cm, height - 2 cm, length - 19.6 cm.

There are various tweezers on sale - with pointed ends, with rounded ends, with teeth, and this tweezers has rectangular ends, slightly beveled on the sides.

This comfortable for grasping materials and objects any shape.

The most important thing in tweezers is that there are comfortable to hold in hand. Everything is fine here.

Tweezers not tight, it is easy to press and quickly returns to its original position.

My daughter very quickly found a common language with him and mastered the skills of grasping objects.

And now OUR OPTIONS FOR PLAYING WITH PINCERS

OPTION 1 - grip with tweezers lungs items ( cotton balls, cotton pads, small pieces of foam rubber)

An ordinary sponge for washing dishes is suitable as foam rubber; if you don’t mind, you can cut it into small pieces and give it to the child. Ideal option - cotton balls, they also come in different colors, but I didn’t have any, so I’m showing them using cotton pads as an example, they are less convenient, but it’s quite possible to pick them up with tweezers.

Since the items are lightweight, moving them from place to place is not difficult.

OPTION 2 - grip with tweezers lumps of crumpled paper

It is better to take paper that is not too hard, invite the child to tear it and crumple it into lumps.

I took sheets of paper of two colors, in this case you can diversify the transfer of lumps with tweezers sorted by color.

OPTION 3 - transferring with tweezers mosaic details

Mine was purchased at Fix Price and consists of 80 parts, which is quite enough for the game.

The parts are captured and transferred using a thin rod.

This task is much more difficult than catching and moving a wad of paper.

OPTION 4 - grip with tweezers pasta

As you know, pasta comes in different designs: spirals, horns, bows, etc.

My daughter and I tried to rearrange different options, it was more interesting.

And I came to the conclusion that the most convenient option is horns (in 2 photos out of 3).

But bows are not at all suitable for this activity, only if you want to make the task VERY difficult for the child.

OPTION 5 - grip with tweezers buttons

I didn’t have many buttons in my house, and even now I’m thinking about purchasing them.

And so they can be sorted by color and size, laid out in different bowls.

OPTION 6 - unfolding with tweezers small wooden balls or beads

The photo shows Nicolya wooden balls 15 mm in size. Wooden tweezers No. 1, which I mentioned at the beginning of the review, are designed for transferring such balls. But I can assure you that using tweezers No. 2 is also convenient for moving these balls from place to place.

My daughter is very good at this.

OPTION 7 - unfolding with tweezers large wooden balls 3 cm in diameter

These balls are from us board game, they are easily grabbed with tweezers.

And you don’t even need to make any effort to move the ball from place to place, since it gets stuck between the two ends of the tweezers.

But to pull it out of there, you need to use your second hand. It's not really difficult, but the process of shifting and grabbing changes a little.

OPTION 8 - transfer clothespins

They are large in size and it is also quite possible to grab them with tweezers to move them to another box.

You can also come up with others various games, for example, laying out clothespins with tweezers certain colors from 1 to 10, counting them out loud.

OPTION 9 - transfer with tweezers dice

In fact, this is not a panacea, just any suitable items that you can find at home.

In this case, you can even throw the dice up and try to throw out a certain number of points on the die.

OPTION 10 - games for speed(for 2 players)

Here I offer three game options: in the first case can be connected second tweezers.

Transfer parts identified by color into bowls at speed.

In the second case one of the players rearranges the parts wooden spoon, and with the second tweezers, after summing up the players exchange weapons.

Third case suitable for PROS, wooden ones are already used here chopsticks(for sushi). In fact, even for parents this option will definitely be interesting.

Thus, there are a lot of options for selecting objects for transferring with tweezers; diversifying them by sorting them by color and size is not difficult.

Why so many options? It's just not fun to move the same beads all the time.

To develop perseverance in children, you need to play speed games with your child.

My daughter has also found a use for it - she transfers it with tweezers. Kinder Surprise toys. So I have already told you not even 10 variants of the game, but more.

Conclusion. Wooden tweezers Montessori from a wooden toy manufacturer Nicolya is very cool, it is ideal for educational activities with a child.

*******************************************************************************************************

The baby is growing, the world around him is becoming more interesting and clearer for him, much of what was not possible before can now be easily learned by the young researcher. The child’s fingers become more and more dexterous, and he enjoys coping with new tasks. In order to satisfy the baby’s cognitive needs, it is very important to offer suitable educational games and activities in a timely manner.

In this article I want to bring to your attention educational activities that are interesting and very useful for children from about 1 year 9 months. The age cutoff is conditional; perhaps something will interest the child a little earlier, something later. However, you need to somehow navigate among the many games, so I divided them by age, based on my observations. Here are a few other collections of motor skills games (most of these games are still relevant after 1 year 9 months):

So, what else can you play with your child:

1. Play with clothespins

Such seemingly ordinary household items as clothespins can be turned into very useful game to develop finger strength and coordination. It seems to us that attaching a clothespin is nothing special, but for a child it’s a whole science, and he doesn’t succeed in overcoming it right away. Very often, children either grab the clothespin with their entire palm, or try to take the clothespin with their fingers, but at the same time they press not on the very edges, but somewhere in the middle. Therefore, your main task at the first stage is to teach your child how to properly use a clothespin.

Where to attach clothespins?

We use clothespins to make rays for the sun, needles for a hedgehog, and decorate a Christmas tree.

For this game, you need to prepare a template in advance from cardboard, preferably thick (circle, herringbone or the body of a hedgehog). At first you will have to hold the cardboard, then teach your baby to hold the cardboard independently with his left hand.

Here you can DOWNLOAD There are even more interesting patterns for games with clothespins, such as rain for a cloud, legs for a horse, ears for a hare, etc.

You can also use ready-made games with templates (Ozon, My-shop, KoroBoom).

Attach clothespins, focusing on color

Attach clothespins to the edge of the box

When Taisiya first began to take an interest in clothespins and began to get a little work done, it seems to me that she was ready to attach them anywhere. We started by simply attaching clothespins to the edge of the box. If you attach clothespins around the entire perimeter, you will get a fence behind which you can even house someone.

You will greatly diversify the game if you purchase decorative clothespins, because it is much more fun to decorate the box with some colorful butterflies or caterpillars.

And later, Taisiya and I came up with the idea that if you turn a box of clothespins (classic) upside down, you’ll get this funny spider.

Hanging doll clothes or baby clothes to dry

In a child's room, you can secure a small rope (for example, by tying it to the legs of a table and chair) and tell your child a story about how a doll fell into a puddle, stained all the clothes, and you had to wash it (for fun). Now all clothes need to be hung out to dry. And you can even start a real wash with your baby and then hang up the clothes.

In this lesson, we also first help the baby hold an item of clothing, and then teach him to act independently.

We attach clothespins to the baby's clothes

If the baby doesn’t mind, attach a few clothespins to the clothes he’s wearing, and let him try to take them off. This game caused a storm of emotions for us (positive, of course)!

2. Build paths from dominoes

This may seem surprising to some, but a one-year-old child can already play dominoes! Of course, there is no need to explain to the baby yet detailed rules, tell him what “bazaar” and “fish” are, he is unlikely to be interested in this. But the domino principle itself, based on the selection of identical pictures, can easily be grasped by a child.

To play the game you will need a children's domino with pictures that the baby can understand (for example, we have such, more options - Ozon, My-shop). Explain to your child that you can build paths (or fences, as you prefer) from dominoes. But the paths are not simple: the dominoes in them must be selected so that the pictures on the edges match. Taisiya and I used dominoes to build a large fence, inside of which some animal would definitely live. Tasya could play dominoes on her own for a long time.

3. Pour water with a pipette or bulb

Another activity to develop your child's finger strength and fine motor skills. The essence of the lesson is this: you need to pour water from one container to another using a rubber bulb (syringe), a culinary dispenser (as in the photo) or a pipette. The containers can be anything, however, it seems to me that using an ice mold makes the game much more interesting. So, Taisiya and I take water in a small bowl and fill some cells of the form, then we check which cells are empty and which are full, if desired, we count how many cells are filled. Then collect the liquid from the cells back into the bowl.

The most difficult thing for a child in this game is to learn the sequence of actions: first we press on the bulb, then we lower the tip into the water, we collect water, then, without pressing, we transfer it to another container, etc. At first, hold the child’s hand in yours and act together, so the baby will better understand the essence.

Now there are very cute pipettes on sale from Learning Research, they are great for a child's hand. Available in the store.

Try not to pour a lot of water for the game, pour as much as you and your baby can pour back and forth in one game. If you are using a small medicine dropper, the containers should also be very small. If desired, the water can be colored with food coloring.

4. Pour water from one bowl to another using a sponge

The game is in many ways similar to the previous one, but still gives the child slightly different sensations. A few tips: first, put a bowl of water on the left, and empty on the right , then the child will pour the water from left to right; this direction of action is important for placing his hand before writing. Secondly, it should be noted that it is more convenient to play with a sponge that is completely soft (without a hard part); if you were unable to buy a soft sponge, then cut off the hard part with a knife.

5. Cut with scissors

After 1 year 9 months, the child’s motor skills become more and more perfect, and you can already begin to introduce the child to scissors. Surely you have already heard about the famous Kumon notebooks (Labyrinth, Ozon, My-shop), which can teach any child how to cut, but if the child has never worked with scissors before, do not rush to immediately purchase notebooks and complete tasks. At the first stage, your main task is to teach your child how to hold scissors correctly, open and close them, and simply introduce the child to the process of cutting paper into pieces.

First, let your child learn to make short cuts along the edge of the sheet. And only then, when his actions are more confident, offer to make several cuts in succession along the drawn line. So, before class, you can draw a few not too long lines on a small sheet of paper and invite your child to cut the sheet along these lines.

Naturally, for classes you need to purchase special children's scissors with blunt ends and it is advisable that the scissors have one ring small and the other larger. The thumb must be inserted into the small hole of the scissors, and the index and middle finger into the large one. . If it is more convenient for the baby, you can also insert your ring finger into the large hole. It is also important to teach the child to correctly hold the sheet with his left hand (if the child is right-handed).

A little later you can move on to Kumon notebooks, unusual tasks they stimulate the child's interest. Taisiya, for example, developed a passion for Kumon tasks at the age of 2 years and 2 months. In parallel with the use of notebooks, you can continue to draw lines on paper, gradually complicating them: adding zigzags, waves, etc.

6. Make a picture using puzzle cubes

If your baby is already familiar with simple ones, now you can invite him to collect a picture on puzzle cubes(of 4 parts) ( Labyrinth, Ozon, My-shop). This task is a little more difficult, because here, before placing the cube on right place The child must also turn it and find the appropriate side. At first, of course, you will have to twist the cube to find the right side, but while you are doing this, explain to your baby why you chose one side or another.

7. Play with two- or three-layer frames (puzzles)

Multilayer insert frames are simply amazing toys; they combine the functions of both a puzzle and a platform for a story game. As a rule, such inset frames show the child one object in different sections, for example, a house (bus, car) inside and outside. This representation of an object contributes to the development of the child’s imaginative thinking. And it’s just incredibly interesting! Even parents

For example, the puzzle “ House of hares» ( My-shop, Read) consists of the following layers: on the lowest layer the bunnies woke up and got out of their beds (at the same time, you can get each hare and play a small game with them story game), on the next layer the awakened hares have already begun to carry out some kind of activity: drinking tea, taking out toys, on the third layer the house is presented from the outside and you can see what the hares are doing on the street. Here are interesting options for two-layer puzzles - House or Bus.

In this game, the child learns to distinguish the details of each layer and combine them not just by the similarity of objects (as in ordinary frame inserts), but by meaning.

8. Play fishing with pyramid rings

Earlier I already wrote about quite popular game" ". Now I propose to complicate it a little and play a more “advanced” fishing game, useful for both developing imagination and motor skills. Try to imagine with your child that the rings from the pyramid are fish, a large container or basin is a lake, and you are fishermen who have to catch these fish from the lake. Instead of a fishing rod, it's best suited drumstick(since the ball at the end will prevent the ring from falling), but you can take any other non-sharp stick. To catch a ring fish, you need to put it on a stick. So, during this game you will practice a new skill - prying objects with a stick.
