Counters CAN help with practicing handwriting 😏 

This writing challenge is definitely out of the box! Having to move the counter from one end point to the next requires a child to practice: 

✍️Grasp & control: As they move the counter along the page, they practice keeping a grip on the marker which strengthens their grip and control on writing utensils. 

✍️Coordination: Hand-eye coordination is required for this activity and of course, used when writing.

✍️Spatial awareness: Since the goal is to move the Alien Counter from one end point to the next, kids learn about space and distance which is crucial for proper letter formation and spacing between words. They also work on directionality which is an essential skill to be able to write letters and numbers. 

Save this and try it out next time🤩
