Fine Motor Skills Activities for Kids

Fine motor skills activities work on those tiny hand muscles in children.  These muscles are important for cutting, holding a pencil, buttoning a shirt…  So many ways we use our hand muscles each day.  There are so many fun ways to let us work on strengthening these muscles through play.  Today I am sharing 20+ Fine Motor Skills Activities for Kids.  Some we have enjoyed and some are more ideas from around the web.  I see a few we cannot wait to try out.
