Games for the development of fine motor skills in preschool children 5-6 years old

Games for the development of fine motor skills of hands in older preschoolers

The development of fine motor skills of the hands plays an important role in the overall development of preschoolers, allows you to form the coordination of finger movements, develops speech activity, prepares the child for school, and develops creative abilities. I bring to your attention a number of simple, but useful and exciting exercises that can complement the games of preschoolers. This material will be useful to kindergarten teachers, speech therapists, parents of preschool children.
1. Beads
Target:
What is necessary: dyed pasta, long string.
How we play: we string pasta on a string, you can offer a certain alternation of pasta colors.

2. Exercise with tweezers
Target: develop the accuracy of movements, consolidate knowledge of colors.
What is necessary: tweezers, small "buttons" (I made them from moisture-absorbing napkins for the kitchen using a hole punch), a few small bowls.
How we play: using tweezers, lay out the “buttons” by color in different bowls (shapes).

3. Exercises with clothespins
Target: develop accuracy of movements, attention.
What is necessary: box, clothespins, a set of paired pictures.
Stick pictures on the edge of the box and on clothespins.

How we play: take a clothespin with any picture, find the same picture on the box, attach a clothespin to the edge of the box.

4. Tracks
Target: develop the accuracy of movements, the ability to navigate on a sheet of paper.
What is necessary: cardboard sheet, natural material (small pebbles, shells, beans, peas), small buttons.
How we play: on a sheet of cardboard we lay out winding paths with a material of choice.

5. Laying out along the contour
Target: develop precision movements.
What is necessary: a set of sheets with a contour image of objects, colored paper clips, buttons, natural material (shells, small pebbles, beans).
How we play: offer to choose a figure, lay out a figure along a given contour using the selected material, you can offer to “paint over” the figure.

6. Painting from beads
Target: develop the accuracy of movements, creative imagination.
What is necessary: a sheet of cardboard, a set of colored beads.
How we play: On a sheet of cardboard, lay out the drawing as desired.

7. Twisting tapes
Target: develop precision movements.
What is necessary: attached long satin ribbons with a small stick glued to the end (for example, from ice cream)
How we play: suggest twisting the ribbons from one end to the other.

8. Openwork pattern
Target: develop precision movements.
What is necessary: a toothpick or skewer, a sheet with a simple pattern drawn, a letter, a number, or a template figure cut out of cardboard, a fabric folded in several layers.
How we play: put a sheet with a pattern on a fabric folded in several layers, the child pierces holes along the contour of the pattern with a toothpick or skewer, at the end of the work, look at the pattern in the light.

9. Feed the bird
Target: develop precision movements.
What is necessary: a cardboard box with a pasted drawing of a bird, make a small hole near the beak; a handful of wheat, beans, peas.
How we play: throw one seed into the hole.
