Body Stability
Please watch this video to hear explanations and demonstrations of exercises that will help children to develop their core strength and shoulder-girdle strength. These are necessary for children to develop the body stability needed for writing.
Playdough
Play dough is a wonderful resource that the children love to use in Nursery and Reception.
When your child squishes, rolls, flattens, shapes, smashes, pushes, pulls, twists or cuts play dough, they develop and strengthen their hand muscles. This will help your child develop the strength, dexterity, and control needed to manipulate everyday items such as scissors, pencils, zippers, and buttons.
