Finger Tracing
Parent draws simple lines on paper and invites child to trace them with a finger, observing how the child uses different parts of their arm and hand. The agent coaches the parent to notice shoulder, wrist, and finger movement patterns — building fine motor control and hand strength for future writing skills.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Table or floor space with paper secured (tape it down). Washable paint in a shallow dish or on a plate. Marker for parent to draw lines. Have wipes or damp cloth nearby for easy cleanup. Child should be able to reach across the paper comfortably.
