Fine motor skills can be defined as coordination of small muscle movements in the hands, wrists, fingers, feet, toes, lips, thumb, and tongue. The development of the fine motor skills allows one to be able to complete tasks such as drawing, writing, buttoning and speaking. Fine motor abilities develop over, starting with primitive gestures such as grabbing at objects. It involves precise hand-eye coordination in preschool years and onwards. The preschooler becomes quite adept in self-help, construction, holding things, grips, and bimanual control tasks requiring the use of both hands. When the child enters middle childhood they make great progress in their artistic abilities. They begin to express them through drawing, sculpting, and clay modeling. The term dexterity is commonly used for motor skills of hands and fingers that related to eye coordination.
