Detailed explanation-1: -One to Three Years: Thumb and Two-Finger Tripod Grasp Sometime during toddler and preschool years, your child can start adjusting how they hold a crayon to a thumb and two-finger tripod grasp. The sequence may move from the fist with thumb up to the fist with thumb down type of grasp.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most children do not have the fine motor control or strength to hold a pencil using a finger grip until they are 4 years of age.
Detailed explanation-3: -Grasp-types. Palmar: involves the palm and all the fingers, which wrap around the object. The thumb is in opposition to the other fingers (Fig 4d). Digito-palmar: involves the palm in opposition to one or several fingers (Fig 4e). Raking: involves the palm and last four fingers.
Detailed explanation-4: -By age 4, a child may have progressed through several types of grasps while scribbling and drawing, from the “fist” or “power” grasp to a more mature way of holding a crayon or pencil, such as the dynamic tripod grasp. Kids usually develop this grasp between the ages of 4 and 6.
