Your child at this stage must develop her motor skills in a way that gives her a lot of confidence to move around. While there are a few skills that a child attains with age, there are certainly a few that you can inculcate in your kid. Introducing fun craft ideas is one of the best ways to develop gross motor skills; fun because, anything serious might not interest your child. So it is better to begin with something that will interest her and improve her attention span at the same time.
Craft will involve cutting, folding, sticking, painting and a host of other things that need precision in motor skills.
What you need to know
This is one area that most parents tend to ignore- honing motor skills. A five year old boy is not only growing mentally and emotionally, but physically as well. Improving motor skills might look a little unimportant at this moment for many of you, as motor skills are generally viewed as nothing more than the milestones that a child must attain. But as a matter of fact, as the child grows up, strong motor skills enable her to function strongly and firmly in many ways.
For example: Origami is fun and also is one of the best ways to make your child hands on with craft. Repeatedly doing craft enables a child to unleash his/her creativity along with tuning his/her motor skills at the best of his/her ability. This particularly helps those kids who later on take up professions related to artistry. So, introduce a little cutting and pasting to your child, and don't be surprised if he/she gifts you a marvel one day!
