Does this sound familiar?
"My child struggles to write their own name and is not interested in drawing at all. I would love them to experience that creative outlet."
"I want to help support my child's fine motor skill development so they can do self-care tasks like dressing themselves."
If these challenges sound familiar, you are not alone – it’s exactly why we’ve designed this program.
This program provides access a toolbox of resources that have been curated with the goal of fostering beginning fine motor skills.

What the program covers
The resources provide five foundational fine motor projects, including colouring using beeswax crayons, dot painting, manipulating modelling dough, finger painting with ink and finger painting with paint and stencils.
Online videos contain tips and tricks for implementing the projects at home and show the resources in use. Instructional cards containing ideas for ways to play with the resources, plus additional ideas for developing fine motor skills using existing items from home.
As children engage with these resources, they will explore sensory-rich materials, practise basic pre-writing skills and engage in creative projects that are aimed at stimulating their fine motor development.
