Pin-poking. Pin-pushing. Pin-punching. No matter what you call it, it is an excellent work for boosting fine motor skills. Aside from the pincher grip benefits, it also naturally guides children in learning to focus for extended periods of time and experience a peaceful calm in their bodies. In the first few pictures, you can see the pincher grip, the focus, and one of our current art projects relating to the season autumn. We often play classical music (Vivaldi's Autumn), while other times the children prefer no music at all.
