Fine motor skills are related to hand and finger skills such as writing, cutting, opening lunch boxes and tying shoelaces. The development of these skills is based on the development of physical skills (such as basic body control and shoulder strength) that make steady progress in which one can move, along with age-appropriate control of the hands and arms.
