It was a busy day at Wee Friends! With the wind-chill keeping us indoors, we had to get creative to for fill our gross motor needs! First, we enjoyed moving our bodies in an obstacle course. We experimented with moving our bodies in untraditional ways. After walking across the balance beam we tried other ways of crossing it, slithering like a snake and scooting backward. We tried bunny hopping and crab walking to move our bodies back to the beginning. After the obstacle course, we danced and played a variety of body moment musical games. We brought back a calm body with some yoga after all that movement. We practiced breathing deeply with each pose and moving our bodies in a slow controlled manor. A story got us ready for lunch time and some much needed rest!
We explored table activities today as well. We were invited to practice our sorting and counting skills at the round table. There was plenty of building on the building rug. We also explored a “snowy” sensory bin since we couldn’t play in the snow outside. As always there were many ways we could grow our minds and bodies at Wee Friends!
