Students will learn the proper crayon-holding technique and freely explore colorful scribbles to build fine motor control and early creative expression through guided prompts and sharing.
Early scribbling helps develop hand-eye coordination, finger strength, and the tripod grip foundational to writing. Open-ended scribble play also fosters confidence, imagination, and a love of self-expression in Pre-K learners.
