Educational significance of children's knitting
In early childhood, the hand is an important organ to understand some characteristics of things, and hand movements are mainly the development of fine movements, which plays a very important role in the development of young children. Through the movement of hands, children can understand the various attributes and connections of things, and the integrity of perception and specific thinking ability are developed. The development of fine hand movements is a continuous development process from whole to differentiation, from random to random, from inaccurate to accurate. It is to cultivate children's hands and brains, inspire children's creative thinking, imagination and creativity, and cultivate children's habit of careful observation, intentional attention and patience, which plays a very important role in cultivating children's imagination and forming the concept of three-dimensional space. So how do we guide children, improve the flexibility of their hand muscles and develop fine movements? That is to say, let the children do more hand movements, either manually.

For example, if a child takes some pieces of paper, he will imagine it as a snowflake. For example, in a bricklayer's activity, children will rub with their hands. As the mud gets longer and longer, they will think of the image of a stick, and as the pathogen of your stick, they will think of the image of the Lantern Festival.

First, provide suitable toys to improve the utilization rate of fingers.

Many parents have no goals and principles when buying toys, and pursue fashion unilaterally. As long as children like it, they ignore the needs of children's action development. For example, beading, knitting, clay sculpture, children's cross-stitch and detachable toys are all good helpers to exercise finger flexibility.

Second, provide appropriate tools to create opportunities for children to use hand muscles.

Some parents and teachers have some convenient and quick ideas in the process of education, depriving children of the opportunity to do it. For example, children aged 5-6 can eat with chopsticks, but nearly one-third of them have never eaten with chopsticks. Children wear their own shoes, and most of them can't tie them themselves. At home, some parents button their children to wear socks, and don't let them take part in housework, and so on. Our children unconsciously lost many learning opportunities, which slowed down the development of children's fine hand movements. Here, we provide a good opportunity for children to exercise and fully develop their hand muscles.
