For babies, training their fingers can not only develop intelligence, but more importantly, prepare them for future self-care. Moreover, babies' fingers are very flexible now, and parents should let go of their hands and encourage them to do things and boldly try them out.
In fact, children's life skills need to be continuously learned and gradually consolidated and improved under the patient help and guidance of adults. In this process, only by giving more encouragement can children gradually form good living habits and master more skills.
Buckling Game
Purpose: To enable babies to master the method of buttoning themselves and exercise finger flexibility
Gameplay: Parents can first demonstrate to their baby and teach them some techniques: hold the button and buttonhole in both hands, put a part of the button into the buttonhole first, and push the remaining button into the buttonhole with the hand holding the button. Also, pay attention to the correct combination of the button and buttonhole, and gradually let the baby practice.
Tip: In the cold season, almost all babies' coats need to be buttoned up. This can help babies practice buttoning up their clothes every day, gradually mastering the techniques and methods of buttoning.
I can scoop things up now
Purpose: To develop the fine finger movements of babies, learn how to use spoons, and prepare them for eating alone.
Preparation: Several spoons, bowls, and paper balls.
Method: Place the paper ball in a small basin and have the baby sit next to it. Mom and Dad first demonstrate using a spoon to scoop paper balls, then hand the spoon to the baby and guide them to use the spoon to scoop paper balls from the small bowl, scoop them up, and then pour them back into the bowl. After the baby becomes proficient in their movements, they can pour the scooped paper balls into a small bowl.
