Snap Attack

Try snapping your fingers — press thumb and middle finger and let one slide off.

Category: Motor Skills · Duration: ~5 min

1. Show your little one a finger snap — slow it way down. "Press your thumb against your middle finger. Push hard. Then let your middle finger slide off and smack your palm." 2. Let them try. It probably won't work yet — and that is completely fine. 3. Practice the motion without expecting the snap sound. The muscle memory takes time. 4. Try rubbing thumb and middle finger together fast as a warm-up. 5. Celebrate any sound at all, even a tiny one. "You're getting closer! Your fingers are learning."
