Pre-writing activities at home

It's a good idea for children to practice a range of pre-writing activities at home. 

Particularly useful activities include:

• Cutting pictures from magazines
• Drawing and colouring pictures using a variety of tools (markers, crayons, pencils, chalk...etc.)
• Painting using big and small brushes
• Playing with playdough and mala.
• Make jigsaws of different sizes.
• Use kitchen tools to pick up small things, pour liquids, sort items by colour or size...etc.
• Put close pegs on to the washing line, around a box. etc.
• Fit paper clips onto pieces of paper.
