Free Early Writing Skills

This free parent & child workshop is designed to help parents understand how to support their child’s early writing development in a fun, pressure-free way.

At this age, writing isn’t about letters — it’s about building the foundational skills children need to feel confident and capable later on. In this session, children will explore playful, hands-on activities while parents learn why these skills matter and how to support them at home.

What we’ll focus on:

• Fine motor strength and hand development

• Mark-making (lines, circles, early shapes)

• Correct but relaxed tool use

• Sensory and everyday play that supports writing readiness

• What’s developmentally appropriate for ages 2.5–4

For parents, you’ll learn:

• How to help without pressure

• Simple activities using items you already have at home

• What to encourage — and what not to worry about

• How to build confidence and enjoyment around early writing
