This drawing activity supports children in developing the motor skills essential for writing, helping them build strength, control, and accuracy with their finger movements. After learning the correct finger placement on the pencil, coloring exercises allow kids to tone their finger muscles and improve hand-eye coordination for greater accuracy.
The drawings provided include progressively complex shapes and help children learn to control their pressure on the tablet, as the thickness of the lines is adjusted, based on the pressure they apply!
Kids earn points based on the area they color and the accuracy of their strokes. They can also leave a drawing in progress, allowing them to resume and continue building their skills whenever they’re ready. This engaging activity makes it fun to practice the motor aspects of writing, setting the stage for confident and controlled handwriting.
