Those activities which need small muscles of the hand and toes are called fine motor activities. These activities can be buttoning, cutting, writing, picking, and many more. Every day we do many activities which need fine motor skills. From the beginning of life until the end, we need this skill to continue the activities of daily living. Each developmental stage has its desire and demand for these skills, whether from moving an infant to adulthood.
