We are continuing out Pre-Writing Strokes series! ✏️✨
Did you know that stringing beads helps your child get ready for writing — even without a pencil? ✋
When children string beads, they’re practicing:
- Fine motor skills (strengthening little fingers and hands)
- Hand-eye coordination (matching what they see with what their hands do)
- Focus and attention (staying on task to complete a pattern)
💡 Try this at home:
Use large beads and string (or even pasta and yarn!) to make necklaces or patterns. Encourage your child to name colors or count beads as they go!
👉 Stay tuned for more fun ways to build prewriting skills through play!
