Family Member – 3-5 Years Old – Physical: Fine Motor – Key Things to Look For – Early Childhood Support Services Resources Wizard

Here are some key things to look for in Physical: Fine Motor development that can assist in determining if your 3-5 year old child may need extra support or may have a developmental delay.

Children with fine motor delays have difficulty using their small muscles, so tasks like grasping crayons with their fingers are tricky.

Here are a few signs of fine motor skill delays:

having trouble holding and using objects (managing a cup, scribbling with a crayon)

avoids activities like drawing and writing
has trouble manipulating objects like utensils and blocks
has trouble cutting paper with scissors
