To further our unit on things that fly, we have been exploring outer space this week! The boys and girls strengthened their fine motor skills as well as hand- eye coordination by pulling and sticking stars on paper. Each child made their very own constellation. Some children wanted lots of stars where others chose just a few! We also finger-painted crescent moons. The children love to move their fingers through the smooth, cold paint.
During group time this week, the Toddlers practiced sorting things that go! Each child took a turn placing a vehicle on the big magnetic board. The boys and girls love when it’s their turn to participate in group!
Last week, the Toddlers learned about the letter L. They used their fine motor skills to pinch and grip the small licorice bites as they placed them on the letter L. They did a great job working in teams of two!
The Toddlers are learning about air transportation this week. The children strengthened their fine motor skills by gripping the stampers and coloring the airplane.
Last week the Toddlers explored the theme of birds. During small groups, the children took turns matching shapes on eggs. They used their fine motor skills to put the eggs together and pull them apart. They also painted ovals (our shape of the month) with feathers!
