Fine motor skills involve the use of small muscles in the hands and fingers to perform precise movements. These skills are essential for tasks such as writing, buttoning a shirt, and using utensils. Activities that enhance fine motor skills include drawing, playing with building blocks, and engaging in crafts. Gross motor skills, on the other hand, involve larger muscle groups and are necessary for movements like running, jumping, and climbing. These skills are crucial for overall physical development and coordination. Activities that promote gross motor skills include playing sports, riding a bicycle, and participating in dance or gymnastics.
