Dexterity play

Okay kiddo, so have you ever tried to pick up small objects with your fingers or do some coloring with a crayon? That's called dexterity! It means being able to use your hands and fingers in a coordinated way to do things.

Dexterity play is when you play games or activities that help improve your dexterity. These might include puzzles, board games, building with blocks, or even just playing with clay or playdough.

When you do these activities, you are practicing using your hands and fingers in different ways. This helps improve your fine motor skills, which means you have better control over your hands and fingers. It can also help you develop your hand-eye coordination, which is when your eyes and hands work together to do something.

Dexterity play can be really fun and challenging, and it's a great way to build important skills that you'll use for the rest of your life!
