Why connecting dots activities are important

 

When children connect two dots or multiple dots in a string, they simultaneously follow and compare their evolving lines with printed dots. This process strengthen visual-motor integration and fine-motor hand and fingers movements control. 

 

Connecting dots activities stimulate acquisition of basic graphomotor, fine-motor and pre-writing skills and competences which later play important role in development of writing and other important fine-motor skills.
