Fine motor skills are related to the important processes of the child's development: speech skills, attention, thinking, coordination in space, observation, memory, concentration.

The development of fine motor skills and speech development are closely related. And this is explained very simply.

In the brain, speech centers and motors are very close to each other. Therefore, to challenge the motor skills of the fingers, the speech center becomes more active. That is why great attention should be paid to the development of fine motor skills.

There are many games and exercises aimed at developing fine motor skills. All of them are very diverse, interesting and affordable.
