This digital handwriting activity helps kids to practice maintaining stability with the stylus by mastering small, precise movements and angle adjustments. Using the stylus, the child controls a helicopter’s direction and speed, promoting steady hand movements and fine motor control.
To start, the child places the stylus on a flashing blue circle, adjusting the helicopter’s course by moving the stylus within this area. The direction and speed are indicated, allowing the child to make subtle, controlled adjustments to avoid obstacles. Precise finger movements are essential to maneuver the helicopter accurately; overly large or abrupt actions can damage the boxes the helicopter is tasked to pick up and set down, resulting in a loss of points.
This exercise builds core handwriting skills, like stability and control, by challenging children to focus on small, smooth movements, preparing them for better control in writing tasks.
