Children practice eye/hand coordination and develop fine motor skills as they learn to write the letters in their names.
Here are some tips for starting out:
-Start with capital letters. These letters use straight lines and circles and are much easier to write than lowercase letters.
-Use unlined paper-children won't be able to stay within the lines when they are first starting out
-Start with only the child's first name
-Write the child's name in large letters and have the child trace over the letters. Let the child cover the letters with cereal, m & ms, etc.
-Keep it fun!
