Tonight I raided the garage to come up with this little pre dinner montessori inspired activity for our very 'hands on' boy. He loved threading the washer in then twisting on the nut and I loved watching his wee (slightly marmitey as we scored a jar) hands.
If you'd like to read up on the importance of fine motor practise for kids and the stages of pencil grip development there's a good website here: pencil grasp development
Great skills, mini daddy hands!!
