Health Tip: Building Baby’s Fine Motor Skills
By LadyLively on June 3, 2015
As your baby gets older and develops, so should motor skills of the fingers and hands.
The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends:
- Offer baby soft objects to play with and throw, such as brightly colored textured balls in different sizes.
- Sit on the floor with baby and roll a ball back and forth. It may take the infant a while to get the hang of it, but keep trying.
- Offer baby toys with parts that move, such as spinning wheels, levers and hinges.
- Blocks make a great toy to explore and build with.
