Tearing Paper - Fine Motor Skill

Tearing paper is an amazing fine motor activity for kids.

Tearing paper requires strength and endurance of the small muscles in the hand.

These intrinsic muscles are important in so many fine motor skills, including handwriting and coloring, managing buttons and zippers, manipulating pegs, and more.

When paper is torn, the hands assume a great tripod grasp which is effective and a mature grasp for writing.

The non dominant hand is helping to hold the paper.

If right hand tearing the paper, in the next step allow the left hand to tear the paper.
