Pincer grasp

[GymMom]

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?

[Inspired by Reggio]

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
