Early Writing Skills Activity

Today, one of activities for out 2 1/2 year old was working on drawing lines to get her practicing her early writing skills. This was her first time doing this and she did an awesome job tracing the up and down lines. She had a little more difficulty with diagonal lines, she made polka dots instead. To give her more incentive, we used washable markers since she only gets to use them once in a while so it made this a special activity!

 I let her hold the marker, the way that is comfortable for her. I am not worried about proper grip just yet. To be honest, is their such a thing as a proper grip as long as the child is writing and is legible.

Examining her own work!
