Bilateral hand use—coordinating both hands together—is a crucial skill for children to develop for tasks like cutting with scissors, buttoning clothes, and handwriting. Strengthening this skill at home can be fun and easy with simple activities! Encourage your child to tear paper, string beads, knead Play-Doh, or engage in two-handed cooking tasks like stirring and rolling dough. These activities promote coordination, strength, and independence. Want more ideas? Watch our latest video for engaging exercises to support bilateral hand coordination at home!
