Stick Painting

Developing fine motor skills can be done using so many creative ways. All little kids love to paint, so I like using this opportunity to develop these skills. Today Master 3 was very keen to paint so I gave him some paint and these small kebab sticks to paint with. It was really challenging for him to manoeuvre the stick in the paint and then work out how to get it from the stick to the paper. He used a variety of methods which you could encourage with your child; rolling, dabbing, flicking, scraping.
