To Leah:
YOu've heard the expression"you have to crawl before you can walk." that is so true with preschoolers. First let them develop those tiny little muscles by allowing them to play with play dough, modeling clay, BIG paint brushes, and sidewalk chalk. Don't try to force them to trace letters yet, just let them experiment with a variety of writing utensils and they will soon get the hang of it! You can also let kids tear paper and just cut scrap paper. They are not ready to cut shapes yet, so just let them enjoy cutting and tearing. Hope this helps!
