Physical/Motor Development – Hand-eye coordination
The development of the baby’s fine movements indicates the level of brain development. The more flexible your baby’s small hand, the better the brain development! Let your baby exercise his small hands, but also promote hand-eye coordination! So how can you let your baby exercise his hands in daily life? Take a look at today’s early education class!
Baby’s little hand skills
The baby can use his small hand to make more touching movements, such as touching with open palms, etc., can judge the distance of the object, have a basic order awareness of the movement, know how to drop the object in his hand, or change hands to get another object. With the further development of fine movements, you can now teach your baby to use your fingers to do some more flexible movements.
Mini-games for fine movements
- Place toys in the range of the baby’s activities. The shapes of the toys can be large, small, soft or hard, allowing the baby to grasp freely and feel the touch of different objects.
- Prepare things for the baby to play with both hands, such as bells, drums, etc. It can also allow the baby to practice more handsclapping. This can promote the baby’s hand, eyes, ears, brain, and sensory development.
- Demonstrate the classification of small beans to the baby, and let the baby follow along. Using your fingers to separate different colours and types of small beans can exercise the fine movements of your fingers and is very beneficial to brain development.
- Prepare a small abacus, remote control, etc., so that the baby learns to use his fingers to move the abacus and buttons so that the baby can further perceive the difference between the fingers and the palm.
- Practice letting go consciously. You can allow the baby to pick up a toy and put it down. In the process, the baby can feel the gripping and relaxing movements to produce different effects. This can exercise the hand-eye coordination ability and deepen the understanding of the baby’s opponents.
