Pre-Writing Exercises
Try these simple exercises with a pencil to get your hands ready for writing!
1. The Catapillar ~ Walk your fingers from one end of your pencil to the other. Try walking back!
2. The Woodpecker ~ Move your fingers in and out to make your pencil go closer and further away from your other hand. Try to keep both hands still (only move your fingers!).
3. The Helicopter ~ Spin the pencil around in a circle like a helicopter. Try to reverse direction.
Here are the video demonstrations of all the exercises if you want to watch first!
