 Eye hand coordination is a crucial skill children need to develop. Here is a winding activity you can use to help with that development. All you need is a stick and a long piece of string. You can show the child how to wind the string around the stick, and then ask them to try it. Sometimes a child will hold the string far away from the stick as they try to wind it. You can explain that it's much easier if they hold the string closer to the stick. This activity may seem simple to an adult, but for a young child, these movements are complex, so practice is helpful. As the child improves, they will build hand and finger coordination that will help them with skills like cutting with scissors and writing.
