The performance of fine motor skills can be improved through training at institutions and the continued training at home; parental involvement can make the training more effective. However, from the interviews with occupational therapists and parents, we found that current training techniques are monotone and bore children in a short while; also, parents find it a problem to continue the training at home for it takes time and effort to prepare the tool and environment for training. To make the training more engaging and more accessible to continue at home, we proposed PinchFun, a cooperative game that encourages training through play, which supports fine motor training for preschool children (ages four to six). Parents can collaborate with the child to achieve the game goal. In this paper, we describe the design of PinchFun, a game-based cooperative fine motor skill training system, and share our insights and design implications for physical training games gleaned from twelve child-parent co-play and co-design sessions at their home.
