Background : Manual dexterity is the ability to manipulate objects using the hands and fingers, which requires coordination between muscular, skeletal and neurological systems, which start to develop during chilidhood.
Objective: We aimed to assess diffrances of gross manual dexterity and fine manual dexterity between dominant and non-dominant hand in typically developing children whose age between 8 to 10 years.
Subjects and Methods: Thirty typically developing children of both sexes  participated in this study. Box and Blocks Test was used to asses gross manual hand dexterity and Nine Hole Peg Test was used to asses fine manual hand dexterity.
Results: There was no significant difference found between the dominant and non-dominant side in Box and Blocks Test (p = 0.11) but it showed a significant difference between the dominant and non-dominant side in Nine Hole Peg Test (p = 0.02) measures.
Conclusion: There was no significant difference in gross manual dexterity measured by Box and Blocks Test but  there was significant difference in fine manual dexterity measured by Nine Hole Peg Test between the dominant and non-dominant hand in children at selected age group between 8 to 10 years.
