Early Writing Skills – Busy fingers and hands in nursery!

The boys and girls have been very engaged in nursery this week – hammering pins and nails into the pumpkin seems to have been particularly popular!

 

But what are they learning?  Yes, this is playing.  But the children are developing their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.  This will help them with their writing (holding pencils, forming letters, etc) when they are ready to write.

 

Well done boys and girls.  I’m not sad, even if i didn’t get my pumpkin soup!  😉
