Tracing with my preschoolers , the children were having a problem with grasping a pencil, I tried the training tool then the problem was the tool kept slipping down the pencil because of the pressure the children used with holding the writing instrument so problemed doubled , the children have a short attention span so this caused them to lose interest with the writing, I noticed the children when coloring with markers they held the markers correctly, they held a crayon different from the pencil and the markers . The pencil was simply to long which made it awkward for the children to control golf pencils are much shorter and easier for a preschooler to grasp, as for the crayons they sell jumbo unwrapped crayons they are great the children stay on task they are not breaking constantly nor are they wearing down to the paper where the children spend there time ripping the paper off the problem is solved the children stay on task we are moving on using our fine motor skills
These preschoolers are doing so much. Your observations are very detailed. Thanks for sharing!
