This digital handwriting activity helps children to practice controlling the pressure they apply with a stylus, developing the fine-tuned weak and strong pressures needed for effective handwriting. This exercise teaches kids the importance of adjusting the pressure for better writing flow and legibility.
In this fun “archaeological dig,” the child uses the stylus as a brush, gently scraping the ground to reveal hidden objects. If they press too hard, the object might break, which costs points, while pressing too lightly may prevent them from reaching the object! By learning to adjust the pressure, children can uncover each item with just the right touch.
Once objects are fully excavated and cleaned, kids validate their discovery by pressing a button at the top left of the screen. The more precise their pressure control, the more points they earn. This activity builds key handwriting skills by reinforcing grip control and pressure management, essential for clear and comfortable writing.
