Fine motor skills allow the kids to control and manipulate their fingers and they can do many useful activities in their day to day life. You can develop kids' fine motor skills through fingerplay nursery rhymes. It's fun, easy and entertaining! Little learners love to sing! And if singing is accompanied by hand and finger actions, they will enthusiastically join you in the song.
So introduce some fingerplay rhymes to your children, which are accompanied by a series of movements that mimic the lyrics. They are one of the best ways to teach them how to control and manipulate their hands and fingers. There are plenty of new and traditional rhymes to enjoy the fingreplay. Let's learn about the popular fingerplay songs and how to act them out.
