Develop Your Child’s Motor Skills with Tape – Here’s How!

The development of the mind-muscle connection is very complex. It’s extremely important for young children to develop both their “big” muscle skills and their “small” muscle skills to set them up for success in the classroom and beyond!

What are Motor Skills? Why are they important for children?

Gross motor skills are those which require whole body movement, using the bigger muscles of the body to perform everyday functions, such as standing and walking, running and jumping, and even sitting upright. They also include hand-eye coordination skills (like throwing, catching, kicking), as well as riding a bike or a scooter.

Fine motor skills involve the engagement of small muscles in very deliberate (“fine”) movements, usually involving hands and fingers in coordination with the eyes. Developing fine motor skills requires a lot of practice. Without fine motor skills, a young child will struggle with movements that come naturally to an older person, like using a pencil, using scissors, tying their shoes, and many other important daily activities.

Tape can help young children develop their motor skills

How can Pro Tapes® products help develop children’s motor skills?

Believe it or not, our tape products make excellent tools in developing these essential life skills for children (and making it a little easier for parents!)

You can help your children develop their fine motor skills with actions like tearing tape, cutting tape with a safety scissors, sticking down and peeling tape up, and peeling off the paper liner on double-sided products (like UGlu®)

There are also many tape-based activities that engage children’s gross motor skills in a fun (and organized) way! Check out our Pinterest board HERE for ideas!

Plus, using tape means you can keep your house neater at the end of the day. Skip the messy cleanup after using paints and glues! Our tapes stick to almost any surface, and they remove from most surfaces just as easily, without leaving behind sticky residues. You can put tape down on your floors, walls, tables, desks, chairs – almost anywhere- without worrying about permanent damage to those surfaces.

These are some of our tapes that we recommend for motor skills activities:

Many of our tape products are easy for little fingers to unwind. Pro® 46, Pro® Artist, and Pro® Pocket Spike Stacks use a soft backing (that is, the non-sticky part of the tape) so they’re easy to tear by hand.

These tapes also come in a fantastic range of colors, so you can have your child pick their favorite color!

Silica Soil Casting Parts

The first process of Investment Casting production is the manufacture of investment mold, investment mold is used to form the cavity in the refractory shell model, so in order to obtain the casting with high dimensional accuracy and surface finish, the investment mold itself should have high dimensional accuracy and surface finish. In addition, the performance of the melt itself should also make the subsequent shell making process as simple as possible. In order to obtain the above high quality requirements of the investment die, in addition to good pressure (pressing the investment die), but also must choose the appropriate mold material (referred to as the mold) and reasonable mold making process.

The advantage of the investment casting method is that it can cast complex castings of various alloys, especially high temperature alloy castings. For example, the blade of jet engine, its streamlined outer profile and cooling inner cavity, with machining process almost impossible to form. Investment casting process can not only achieve mass production, ensure the consistency of castings, but also avoid the stress concentration of residual blade lines after machining.

The biggest advantage of investment casting is that because investment casting has a very high dimensional accuracy and surface finish, so it can reduce the machining work, just leave a little machining allowance in the parts requiring higher parts, and even some castings only leave grinding and polishing allowance, without mechanical processing can be used. It can be seen that the investment casting method can greatly save machine tools, processing time and metal raw materials.
