Freedom, movement and space - gross motor development in a field
There is nothing quite like being in the fresh air. There are so many proven benefits to being outdoors, whatever the weather.
Nursery rhymes and gross motor skills
Oh, there is so much fun to be had when singing nursery rhymes with young children! Some children love nothing more than to move around and have a feeling of freedom and energy. Many nursery rhymes are active and naturally promote the physical instinct of getting up and moving to the words. There is a natural beat and rhythm in nursery rhymes, offering the youngest of children the opportunity to join in by wriggling, bouncing, smiling and giggling.
