Instructions for parents:
  1. Say: “Let’s draw a circle!” and draw a circle slowly in the air with your finger.

  2. Let your child copy the circle in the air with their finger.

  3. Next, say: “Now a square!” and draw it.

  4. Then: “A triangle!” and draw it.

How it helps?

Drawing in the air strengthens finger control, helps children recognize shapes, and improves hand-eye coordination—skills that are harder to practice on paper.

Draw shapes in the air with your finger.
