fine motor construction fun!
We all know how important fine motor construction is for childrens fine motor skills, but we find it is also great for their social skills.
We keep all of our construction materials in a set of lockers, where the children can access them at any time.
They are clearly marked with photos, so the children can identify the contents and know which tub to return the construction to when they have finished playing.
The children like nothing better than to bring boxes of construction down onto the mat to play with their friends.
We have learned through experience that if things aren’t in view of the children, chances are they won’t think about it…like they say “you can’t miss what you haven’t got”. So if you’ve got it, let them know by making it available for them to choose when ever they please.
Children can’t have enough of this type of play… it’s physical, cognitive, social, fun, play based learning!
