Pincer grasp...it’s more than a toddler picking

Pincer grasp...it’s more than a toddler picking up cereal. This important skill determines precision and dexterity in tasks like pencil grasp, writing, manipulating snaps, beads, threading a needle...so many skills.👌🏼 Pincer grasp is a skill that develops around 9-12 months of age. At this time, children are typically able to pick up small items such as cereal with the pads of the thumb and pointer finger. This pad-to-pad grip is called the pincer grasp.

Neat pincer grasp uses the tips of the thumb and pointer finger to stabilize objects. When using a pincer grasp, children use the pads of the thumb and finger to stabilize the object. Pincer grasp develops around 9-12 months of age. Neat pincer grasp develops between 12-18 months and is a much finer skill. 👉🏼For more info and loads of activities to build this precision skill, head to The OT Toolbox and search “pincer grasp”. 👌🏼👌🏼
