From around 18 months old, your toddler will probably hold a brush or pen with her whole hand, and make her marks by moving her arms around (Thomson Delmar Learning 2007) . It won't be until your child is three years or older that she'll be able to hold a pencil in the writing position (Thomson Delmar Learning 2007) .
When the infant is five to six months old, he/she will close their fingers and grasp an object placed in his/her hand. Even if something strokes your baby's palm, he/she would immediately close his/her fingers in order to grasp, which is called the palmar grasp. This grip can be strong at times.
