The article explores the possibilities of purposeful correction of hand subject-practical activity of preschool children on the example of the formation of the main hand functions. For this purpose, a pedagogical teaching experiment was organized, in which two groups took part: experimental and control. The basis was the systematic work on the formation of basic hand functions in children as: power (push, step, hang), coordination (two-handed coordination, manipulative, instrumental); functions related to the speed of movements of the wrists (keyboard, winding, rotating). For each of the listed functions, special complexes of corrective exercises were developed, which were implemented during the experiment in the following forms: basic training (up to 30 min), supportive training (up to 15 min), a standard warm-up for hands (5 min), homework. The analysis of the obtained data made it possible to conclude that purposeful and systematic work on the formation of the basic hand functions in preschoolers made it possible to significantly improve their effectiveness, which, in general, had a positive effect on hand subject-practical activity. It is assumed that this, in turn, should contribute to the improvement of both speech and cognitive development of children, which will be the subject of research in separate articles.
