Infants reach, grasp, and then drop objects.

Toddlers manipulate objects using fingers to twist dials, pull strings, push levers, turn pages, and pick up finger food.

Preschoolers thread large beads on a straw, then a lace, use crayons to make shapes, build with blocks, and do puzzles, all of which require eye hand coordination and cognitive awareness. A great amount of different stages of development will be evident among children, which will be dependent on the opportunity the child has had to experience and experiment with tactile materials. Guidelines of developmental stages will be given further on in the workshops but it is important to recognize genetics will also play a part in when fine motor tasks are mastered.
