Little Bandicoots Family Day Care

✍🏽Are you worried your child doesn't like to draw or write?

😩Should you be worried if they are starting Prep next year?

😔Firstly, you are not alone. In the last ten years, there has been a huge decrease in students fine motor skills and sadly, today's lifestyle doesn’t incorporate as many finger strengthening exercises as it should.

😪How can you help?

🤘🏻Try to get your child's fingers M O V I N G as much as possible with activities like:

👉🏻Play dough
👉🏻Lego
👉🏻Threading
👉🏻Sewing
👉🏻Painting
👉🏻Cutting
👉🏻Drawing (chalk, crayons, pencils, textas)
👉🏻Drawing on vertical surfaces (while they are standing up)
👉🏻Colouring in
👉🏻Monkey bars
👉🏻Dressing themselves or their dolls- doing up buttons, zippers
👉🏻Using keys to unlock or lock
👉🏻Using pegs to hang out washing
👉🏻Using tweezers to sort objects

We work on these skills every week in our school readiness classes so feel free to message me to arrange a free chat about how we can help your child get ready for school next year.

Hi Everyone,
As well as our Monday morning Fine Motor Groups, we will also be running school readiness sessions every Thursday and Friday from 9:30am-11am.
Restricted to eight pre-preppies, each session is designed to ensure your child develops the foundation skills they will need for Prep next year.
