Montessori Grasping Activities
Grasping is a fine motor skill. It involves the movement and use of the hands and upper extremities. Grasping is simply how children pick up and hold onto objects.

Grasping activities develop the child's hand and finger muscles, as well as improving dexterity. They help children grow in focus and prepare them to write.
A baby starts working on grabbing things between 3 and 6 months old. By the time she's a year old, she'll have the coordination to pick up and hold small things securely in her hands.
"Now consider for a moment the work of a small child. His work is to create the man he will be. But he is not conscious of this end, he is conscious only of the means he employs. From a baby’s first kicking through his successive attempts to hold his head up, sit up, grasp his toes, his mother’s finger, and bright colored objects, he is working at his own muscular and mental development. Nobody can give him direct help with this; no mechanical device can save him the labor of co-coordinating his muscles or exercising his mind." Maria Montessori, Maria Montessori Speaks to Parents
