Provide a safe environment for play. Fill this area with a variety of toys such as toys with wheels, jumbo puzzles, balls, nesting cups, containers, blocks, simple puzzles, stacking rings, shapes and shape sorters.
Provide activities that enhance and encourage maturation of finger dexterity, wrist stability, pincer grasp, palmer grasp and hand arches.
Tactile sensorial activities and practical life activities should be considered in the environment for fine motor development.
Observe children’s readiness and hand preferences during the activities. Findings suggest that an infant using primarily the right or left hand for reaching and acquisition is more lateralised than another infant frequently alternating between the hands.
