At what age should a child have developed this? I have one who is just turned 1 and he can't even feed himself a Cheerios. How can I help him learn this skill?

How early depends on how much practice they get with tiny things ;)

Offer finger foods at meals and snacks and play supervised games where you pick up tiny things and drop them in a bin or bowl ... Pom poms, cotton balls, etc work well.

As they master add tweezers and other tools to step up a notch
