I wonder if this little boy knows something we don't know with the cute little baby in the tummy! 🤣

Sitting at a coffee shop while my kids play, and they have communal wool and knitting needles, to finish off or start a square, to make blankets for donation. What a great idea!

It got me thinking about what a wonderful activity knitting is for practicing fine motor control, bilateral hand use, eye hand coordination, planning, concentration, patience and so many other skills!

I learnt to knit at school when we used to make blankets, but when I shared this some of my friends said they don't know how to knit.

Do your children know how to knit if they are old enough? I would love to teach my children at some stage.

There are lots of benefits of working on an elevated surface (upright against a wall, mirror, black or whiteboard)!

Including:
- Development of strength and stability in the shoulders and arms, which helps with fine motor control
- Integrating head and eye movements for working of a board in class
- Perceptual motor skills
- Midline crossing for effective use of our hands on the opposite side of the body
