In order to hold a pencil and improve handwriting children must first develop their fine motor skills. There are many simple activities you can engage your child in so as to develop these skills. Here are some suggestions you may like to try out with your son:

-Fingerpainting, drawing, colouring, tracing patterns

-Stringing beads/pasta on thread

-Completing jigsaws

-Playing with playdough- rolling, squeezing, bending into various shapes

-Sticker books- sticking small stickers along a pattern

-Cutting out along patterns with child-friendly scissors

-Helping to hang clothes out on clothes line- opening the clothes pegs helps strengthen muscles in the hand

There are lots more ideas on how to develop these skills to be found on websites such as http://handsonaswegrow.com/30-kids-activities-materials-for-promoting-fine-motor-skills/ and
