Hand Eye Coordination!
Hand eye coordination is the ability to perform movements with the hands while being guided by the hands. Children aged 3-5 years need to continue to develop:
- Hand-eye coordination skills and a preference for right or left handedness through play ideas using chalk, pencil, paint and crayon
- The understanding of concepts of place and direction, such as up, down, under and beside
- Fine motor skills such as jumping, galloping, climbing, pushing and pulling objects
Some key play ideas to ensure good hand eye coordination are:
- Throwing and catching a ball using different sizes e.g. tennis, football, ping pong, beach ball
- Threading and lacing
- Gardening and using garden tools
- Skittles
- Cutting and sticking activities
