Child development begins at birth. Parents try to diversify the leisure of the baby and offer him a variety of games and toys. Many of them are intended not just for entertainment, but also for the development of general thought processes. But there are toys that are aimed at the development of fine motor skills. They are especially popular with parents and their children.
The development of fine motor skills
Children constantly study the world around them. And one way of knowing it is by touching. Kids just need to touch everything, grab it, taste it. Therefore, the task of an adult is to organize space in such a way that this cognitive activity is constantly satisfied.
It is established that the development of speech and fine motor skills are closely related. In order for the child to learn to speak in a timely manner, in addition to training the articulation apparatus, it is worth paying special attention to the development of the movement of the fingers. This is due to the fact that the kinetic impulses emanating from them have a beneficial effect on the baby's speech.
Fine motor skills of the hands have a positive effect on the basic thought processes: memory, thinking, imagination, observation, attention.
