What is Fingerplay activity ?
Fingerplay is hand movements coordinated with songs, rhymes, or occasionally a short story. The movements may be gross, meaning they involve the entire hand in a large motion such as waving. Or they could be fine, where they involve smaller, more detailed movements of the fingers.
Fingerplay is a simple, no-cost way to spend time with your child, learn together, and prepare your little one for preschool or daycare. But many parents aren’t sure what fingerplay is, why it is important, and how to begin.
Using fingerplays and songs in early childhood is a great way to help young children learn the language, gain large and small motor skills, and work on memory and social skills
