• To encourage parent-child learning activities, teachers will find these take-home bags helpful. These resources help children practise motor skills such as pincer grips, tripod grips, and develop hand arches vital for writing readiness. By involving parents as partners in education, these kits foster a collaborative approach to early years education.
• Aligned with the EYFS curriculum, the bags offer activities to develop small motor skills through tasks like pouring, stirring, threading, and dressing dolls. These tasks enhance physical development and provide opportunities for children to share their work, supporting personal, social, and emotional development. With various tools, children build foundational skills needed for handwriting.
By practising these skills at home, children improve hand-eye coordination, making them better prepared for classroom activities. The nature of these kits makes them an excellent resource for teachers looking to enhance fine motor skills in three-year-olds.
