Here\u2019s how both work:<\/p>\r\n<h2>So Many Muscles!<\/h2>\r\n<p>Your little one\u2019s hands are tiny, but they contain a lot of bones and muscles! Each hand holds 27 bones, including 14 bones just in the fingers. There are also more than 30 muscles in each hand that allow her fingers to point, her hand to grasp, and her wrist to rotate. The more she uses her hands and fingers, the stronger her muscles will get, which can lead to more complex movements and better control.<\/p>\r\n<p>Each of these bones and muscles works together for a common purpose: Dexterity. Dexterity refers to your baby\u2019s ability to work with her hands for different tasks, like holding a bottle, turning the pages of a book, or snuggling her favorite blanket.<\/p>\r\n<p>Dexterity development begins in babyhood and continues to develop as your baby\u2019s fine motor skills improve. Eventually, her dexterous skills will lead to accomplishing big tasks like feeding herself, tying her shoes, and doing her homework.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Hands, Fingers, and Development<\/h2>\r\n<p>Your baby\u2019s hands and fingers are some of the most important tools she\u2019ll need as she continues to grow and learn. Dexterity affects fine motor development and your baby\u2019s ability to fine-tune what she does with her hands and fingers to have more control over her grasp.<\/p>\r\n<p>Fine motor skills are ones your baby will continuously build upon as she grows, especially with your support. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2017\/03\/31\/hands-our-most-incredible-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here\u2019s what fine motor development looks like in your baby\u2019s first year<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2017\/05\/01\/hands-our-most-incredible-tools-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here\u2019s how it looks in her second year<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>Dexterity and hand strength have benefits beyond building fine motor skills, though; they can eventually help your baby sit up, stand, and learn!<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Strength<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Make a fist and squeeze it as tight as you can. You can feel not just your hand, fingers, and wrist muscles working, but also your arm muscles! When your baby grabs onto a toy and holds it tight, she\u2019s building strength in all these muscles, too. In fact, even small movements in her fingers and hands, like pointing at a picture or using her thumb and forefinger to hold a pacifier, build dexterity, muscles, and strength. This will come in handy when it\u2019s time for her to sit, crawl, and stand.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Gross motor skills and coordination<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Hands, fingers, and wrists also coordinate with the movement of your baby\u2019s arms and what she sees to give her a full range of motion. As we mentioned, when your baby exercises her hand muscles, she\u2019s usually working her arm muscles, too, as well as making her hands and arms work together to carry out a task. As she does this, her eyes focus on the task, improving hand-eye coordination.<\/p>\r\n<p>In other words, she\u2019s building gross motor and coordination skills along the way. As she becomes more coordinated, she\u2019ll use her hands and arms to roll herself over, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2017\/03\/30\/sitting-up-a-new-way-to-move-and-view-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">push herself up into a sitting position<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2017\/06\/11\/standing-a-new-world-for-your-baby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pull up to stand<\/a>. Building dexterity and hand strength require a lot of brainpower that will, in time, lead to more in-sync body movements.<\/p>\r\n<p>(Fun fact: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2019\/03\/01\/how-gross-motor-skills-support-fine-motor-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gross motor skills also support fine motor development<\/a>!)<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Play<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The more your baby can do with her hands, the more she can play and explore. Different toys and objects require different grasps and manipulations. Building dexterity can open many more doors to play for your baby, which also means more paths for learning.<\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Your baby\u2019s hands get into everything as she grows because they\u2019re the best tools for exploring the world around her.
