On Wednesday evening at Curriculum Night, our guest speaker Shana Krell, Occupational Therapist, strongly recommended that young children use crayons rather than markers when drawing and writing. Children use more pressure with crayons strengthening their developing hands thus getting them ready to use other writing implements with a proper grip. The Levana children decorated their Challah bags using brand new crayons.

the kids look so focused. New crayons are always fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's so neat to see their different grasps and stances. I also assume this was snapped in the 5 seconds that Adam used to decorate his bag! :)
