Hand-eye coordination, also known as eye-hand coordination, is an important perceptual-motor skill children develop during the early years.

Find out what it is, why it is important to develop and how you can help your children build their coordination with simple games and activities.

How Can You Improve Your Child’s Coordination?

The development of hand-eye coordination is a process that occurs naturally while children are playing. Learning should always be fun.

You can encourage your children by allowing them large blocks of time to play freely every day, as well as by engaging your child in specific outdoor games and activities that work this skill.

It’s important that these skills are developed at an early age since most of this learning takes place by the age of 4. Therefore, early stimulation is crucial.
