Psychomotor skills contribute to children's integral development through the interaction of their body with the external environment. That allows a balance in the dimensions of development: motor, affective, cognitive, and social.

In short, it has excellent benefits for children to have the opportunity of carrying out these kinds of activities. However, Maria Montessori's methodology suggests that motor skills should be based on age, the particular interests of each child, and their needs at a given time.

Children love to imitate every activity that adults carry out, cutting fruit, washing dishes, sweeping, mopping, among many other activities. We must give them the possibility, in a safe way, that they can help us and develop skills associated with these household tasks. And feel that they have been a great help to us.

Children are always in constant movement because it is how they interact and know the world around them. Through this behavior, children explore and discover completely different things day after day that builds personality. Through these daily activities, children can manipulate various materials and improve abilities such as fine motor skills.
