Take a look around this collection for handwriting ideas and letter formation activities for your EYFS lessons. Our letter formation activities for foundation stages are full of handwriting ideas. They'll help provide a wide range of worksheets, booklets or pencil patterns for young learners. It's a great set of ways to improve both their handwriting skills along with their pencil control and fine motor skills. Shoulder stability is the ability of the surrounding muscles to support the shoulder and allows for accurate hand functions. This develops from an early age as a baby lies on their tummy and takes weight through their arms and will continue to develop as they begin to crawl. The first dressing stage is usually shown by the child being seen to hold out their arms and legs to put through items of clothing, such as putting their arms through a coat sleeve or a foot out for a shoe. Make sure your child is sitting comfortably when they write, with their feet firmly on the floor. If it's helpful, try using a slanted writing surface While it may seem like second nature to an adult, to a baby this is an important milestone in fine motor development. The pincer grasp represents the coordination of brain and muscles that’s necessary to help them gain increasing independence.
