Working Fine Motor Skills with Finger Painting and Overcoming Some Fears [EN // Trabajando la Motricidad Fina con Pinta Dedos, y Venciendo Algunos Miedos [ES]

Today I had to go out to buy some things that I needed to spend these days in which the stores will not open for sure, in one of the stores I found some finger paints, which I had wanted to buy for years. To be honest, last year I had found them, but I did not have enough money to buy them, so today I saw them and thanks to Hive I had the money available, I did not hesitate for a moment to buy them, Mathias is disgusted to get his hand full of paint, glue or any sticky stuff, even his teacher has told me hahaha it's funny, he literally gets desperate to remove something that stains him hahaha.



His first reaction was of excitement because he still didn't know that we were going to finger paint, so he asked me for a coloring brush and ran out to get the white sheets to start, his surprised face when I told him that we were going to finger paint and that the brush was not necessary, was worthy of a dramatic poem hahaha. This kind of reaction I imagine is because when he was younger, we didn't do this kind of activities, and although it's never too late, I think I should have done it in advance, so today we started doing these activities that we will surely do more often.



I arranged small portions of paint on a plastic plate and invited him to color some geometric shapes that I drew on the sheets, so today's activity was, let's say dual purpose because although he already recognizes the geometric shapes very well, it is always good to remind him. At first, he barely filled a little finger and every time he painted a figure he wanted to wipe his hands, and well I had to be patient because what has disgusted him for years was not going to change from one minute to the next.



Something I could notice is that he wanted to paint with his left hand, although he is right-handed, for a moment I thought about stopping him, then I said to myself that this can help him develop both hemispheres of the brain, which is a positive thing, and so he was trying to paint the triangles that as you can see we're not very nice but for having painted them with his left hand which is not his dominant hand, I would say that it was very good.











Once we finished with the geometric figures, he simply asked me for more and more sheets because there was still some paint left on the plate hahaha, and he did not think to stop until it was all finished, then I can say that the progress was gigantic, because, in the end, he ended up putting his whole hands in the paint, he even drew me a picture where he told me that he was with our dog Nena and on the side a race track, then here I leave his work and guess who is who hahaha. One of the benefits of these activities is the stimulation of fine motor skills, which is something that I have been told I should stimulate in him.

Hoy tuve que salir a comprar algunas cosas que me faltaban para pasar estos días en los que no abrirán los comercios seguramente, en una de las tiendas me encontré unas pinturas para dedos, que tenía años queriendo comprar. Siendo sincera, el año pasado las había encontrado, pero no me alcanzaba el dinero para comprarlas, así que, hoy que las vi y que gracias a Hive tenía el dinero disponible, no dude por un momento en comprarlas, Mathias le tiene asco a llenarse la mano de pintura, pegamento o cualquier pegote, incluso su maestra me lo ha dicho jajaja es algo gracioso, pues literalmente se desespera por quitarse algo que lo manche jajaja.



Su primera reacción fue de emoción, pues aún no sabía que íbamos a pintar con los dedos, así que de entrada me pidió un pincel para colorear y salió corriendo a buscar las hojas blancas para poder comenzar, su cara de sorpresa cuando le dije que pintaríamos con los dedos y que no era necesario el pincel, era digna de un poema dramático jajaja. Este tipo de reacción imagino que se debe a que cuando estaba más pequeño, no hacíamos este tipo de actividades, y aunque nunca es tarde, creo que debí haberlo hecho con antelación, así que hoy comenzamos a hacer estas actividades que seguramente haremos más seguido.



Le dispuse pequeñas porciones de pintura en un plato plástico y lo invite a colorear algunas formas geométricas que le dibuje en las hojas, así que la actividad de hoy fue, digamos que doble propósito, pues aunque el ya reconoce las figuras geométricas muy bien, siempre es bueno recordárselas. En principio apenas se llenaba un dedito y cada vez que pintaba una figura quería limpiarse las manos, y bueno me toco tener algo de paciencia, pues lo que por años le ha dado asco no iba a cambiar de un minuto a otro.



Algo que pude notar es que quería pintar con la mano izquierda, aunque él es diestro, por un instante pensé en frenarlo, luego me dije que esto puede ayudarlo a desarrollar ambos hemisferios del cerebro, lo cual es algo positivo, y así estuvo intentando pintar los triángulos que como ven no quedaron muy bonitos que digamos pero por haberlos pintados con su mano izquierda que no es su mano dominante, yo diría que quedo muy bien.











Una vez que terminamos con las figuras geométricas, simplemente me pedía más y más hojas porque aún quedaba algo de pintura en el plato jajaja, y él no pensaba detenerse hasta que no se acabara toda, entonces puedo decir que el avance fue gigantesco, pues al final termino metiendo las manos completas en la pintura, incluso me dibujo un cuadro en donde me dijo que estaba el con nuestra perra Nena y a un costado una pista de carreras, entonces aquí les dejo su obra y adivinen ustedes quien es quien jajaja. Uno de los beneficios de estas actividades, es la estimulación de la motricidad fina, que es algo que me han recalcado debo estimular en él.

That’s great, finger painting is a lot of fun for kids and adults alike! I’m glad that he was experimenting with using his other hand instead of his normal hand. That’s good!

Oh yay glad there was a win against the tactile issues :D

Ahhhhh he's so cute XD

Don't sweat the right and left handed thing. My youngest was switching hands just for writing for a really long time before he decided on the right. Pretty sure he was 6 or 7 before he was consistently writing with one hand and even so I have a feeling he's like me and would probably write with the other hand just fine if he didn't think too hard about it x_x
