Fine Motor Skills
- The student developed hand-eye coordination by drawing and cutting out hearts, which requires precision and control.
- Practicing cutting helped the student refine their fine motor skills, leading to improved dexterity and hand strength.
- By drawing and cutting, the student also enhanced their bilateral coordination, using both hands together to complete a task.
For continued development, encourage the student to try cutting along curved and zigzag lines. Additionally, providing various materials such as playdough, beads, or lacing cards can further strengthen their fine motor skills.
