The children all enjoy our time outside at the beginning of the day...
running up the hill,
jumping in the leaves,
digging in the sand box,
climbing on the rocks,
driving trucks,
jumping,
throwing leaves.
"The excavator is my favourite toy."
Using fine motor skills.
We used our pinching fingers to pick up the cornmeal
Adding a stem.
"This is giving me a hard time." said this child.
Activities that require children to use their forefinger, middle finger and thumb, strengthen
the muscles required to hold a pencil in a three finger pincer grip. Clipping clothes pegs onto
a cup is another activity that strengthens these muscles.
Building towers with the pegs takes a lot of concentration.
