Every time your child plays they are actually learning! The world is a giant playground for growth, learning, play and excitement in the eyes of a 2 year old. CLIMBING Climbing is an important part of gross motor development. Climbing is a thrill, they learn about their environment and develop an important feeling of accomplishment. It is an excellent way for young children to develop strength, flexibility and balance. MUSIC Music is a magical way to get a childs attention and calm them down. Perhaps one reason music is so helpful is because it engages the child's minds and senses. According to Parent Magazine, "Neurological research shows us that the higher brain functions of abstract reasoning as well as spatial and temporal conceptualization are enhanced by musical activities". Music connects both sides of the brain. and often makes a connection in your memories. We sing songs everyday! Brock joins us once a week with his guitar and other special instruments. This hands-on musical experience is a wonderful way for children to express themselves. ART Coloring on the floor might just look exciting, but there are many benefits for your child coloring in this position. Having your child lay on their bellies, encourages the muscle strengthening in their arms, core and hands! Every muscle from your stomach to your shoulder to your fingers must work to keep yourself strong while coloring on the floor. This was a fun activity, there will definitely be more floor activities to come! Reminders:
