Gross & Fine Ideas.
.....for when you can't think of something
- Print the 2 pdfs & prepare [cut, name, mount]
Each pdf offers 30 ideas - combine & create many more
a) the gross motor suggests a way/manner of moving/balancing (x15) plus an environment/area to move in (x15).....fun as a "how to manoeuvre the path/obstacle/jungle gym game; ex. jumping + clouds = jumping towards/around/on soft/fluffy clouds, OR crawl + desert = hot, tired, sand, insects/reptiles, water.
b) the fine motor suggests tools/utensils & activities/tasks...combine, create & play (preparation/requirements might be needed in advance so ensure up to scratch Fine Finger Fiddles, please)
Once a strip is torn/used, we fold it and place them all in a jar - this way we can re-create the activities with the added excitement of getting ideas via a lucky draw.
*The terms gross - & fine motor are used broadly...Speelkamer prefers to see the individual systems plus their interactions...but this is PLAY so we try to focus on that.
