Theme: Sideways - Teaching Toddlers about changing direction.
Concept: Forward, Backward, and Sideways
DID YOU KNOW that moving sideways stimulates the brain? When you move sideways left, the right side is stimulated and vice versa. Why stimulate the brain? It is like turning the power switch on, learning is enhanced and expanded. It is easy to see how moving the body increases academic learning.
The equipment (toys) are set up to offer varied opportunities to move forward, backward and sideways. Remember to start by being the leader. Your child loves to mimic you! Once your child is actively engaged in play, your role should switch from leader to follow/safety net. Try to help your child as little as possible. Let them try everything they want to. You just catch of necessary.
