Hi iybuyk,
Since my DS6 was a baby, I always gave him opportunities for him to develop the strength in his little hands. He played with water, snow, soil, play-dough, rice, noodles, anything he could get his hands on. By the age of 2 he knew how to spell his name with the magnets on the door of the fridge, and on a piece of paper with a marker (scary, considering what could have happened to the surrounding walls of our home). I think back now, and I believe that getting my DD6 to write at an early age had much to do with his early exposure to reading, and constant playing; exercising that mind, and those little fingers.
