benefits of children's graphomotor skills.

The graphomotor skills are the ability that the child acquires to perform a certain activity with his hands, that is, the movement he makes when he writes or draws. "Grapho", writing and "Motriz", movement, it is important the promotion of this activity since it benefits the fine motor development, which is when the child begins to have a broader control of his body, in this case the arm, the arm Wrist, hand and especially fingers.

The development of graphomotor skills is a basic aspect of childhood psychomotricity and that is why it is necessary to promote it from an early age. This exercise seeks to improve tonic harmony, directionality, segmentation and, therefore, is done so that the child can increase his speed, legibility, harmony and fluency in his writing or in the movements he makes with his hands.

Make strokes in early childhood education.

Children begin by making free tracks that allow them to understand and acquire fluency, and then, progressively, introduce patterns and lines directed as lines, circles, until they end with letters and words. The different instruments are also used in classes such as pencils, sponges, waxes, among others, which help the movement of the child's hand. The movement exercises are also important to reinforce the correct movement, the movements from left to right, from top to bottom, to evolve little by little.

Activities for the development of hand skills.

• Teach children to join their hands freely and then with the help of rhythms, progressively.
• It can help children express themselves with their hands, through dances, or games. The idea is to make different movements with your hands and understand their function.
• Allow him to make drawings or strokes without sense first so that he has ease. Give importance to the gesture that the child makes of wanting to simulate writing.
• Imitate with your hands movements of animals (lion moving the claws, bird flying ...) or objects (blades of the mill, helicopter propellers).

Activities for the development of the dexterity of the fingers.

• Open and close your hands simultaneously, at the same time move all your fingers.
• Touch the fingers with the thumb correspondingly, progressively increasing the speed.
• Teach counting numbers with fingers, or say quantities with them.
• Simulate with your fingers the use of instruments such as a guitar, flute or drum. Highlight the sensitivity of the fingers.

Fuente Performing these exercises will help the agility of the child with their hands, to be able to perform jointly or separately graphomotor exercises.

Graphology exercises.

• Perform vertical, horizontal, diagonal lines, crosses, parallels, figures, among others.
• Give children black and white drawings to fill in the spaces with colors, avoiding going out of the margin.
• Perform maze exercises with children, avoiding touching the walls.
• Make circles and stripes continuously in special calligraphy notebooks, or white sheets.
• Give drawings with incomplete lines for children to join.
