Even More Writing Practice Tips

Here are even more ideas for fun handwriting practice at home:

• Use Sidewalk Chalk. No need to find storage for all those worksheets– the rain washes away the work. The unique resistance of chalk also helps build fine motor muscles.
• Make the shape of a letter with your body. It highlights all of the parts of the letter so on paper the kids include all of the parts. This is particularly good for kinesthetic learners.
• We have an Alphabet 'n Numbers Foam Puzzle Mat with different textures. We trace the letters while laying on the puzzle. This position also helps build arm muscles and helps with motor control. The colors and textures add interest and help the kids remember the work.

Have fun with handwriting!
