Study Notes
Fine Motor Skill Development
- 1 month: Infants primarily have clenched fists and involuntary hand movements.
- 3 months: Hands are open and held in front of the face.
- 4 months: Infants begin to purposefully bat at objects.
- 5 months: Developing grasp, holding onto small objects such as rattles.
- 6 months: Demonstrating object exchange; releasing one object to take another.
- 7 months: Improving hand-eye coordination; transferring objects from one hand to the other.
- 8 months: Developing a crude pincer grasp (using multiple fingers to pick up objects, like scooping).
- 9 months: Beginning to manipulate objects by hitting and banging them together.
- 10 months: Mastering a fine pincer grasp (using thumb and index finger); inserting and removing objects.
- 11 months: Offering and releasing objects to others.
- 12 months: Developing self-feeding (cup, spoon) and basic mark-making (on paper) and poking with the index finger.
