Q. What did the boy octopus say to the girl octopus? A. I want to hold your hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand.
All this month posts have been about different ways that hands can be used for kindergarten readiness fun and learning. Learning activities with hands encourage all kinds of brain connections. Did you know that one of the most powerful tools for brain development is movement? In addition to the 5 senses of taste, touch, smell, hearing and sight we actually have 2 more: the sense of movement and the body’s position in space.
Weekends sometimes have more time for families to play, and parks and playgrounds have lots of space for movement. Here’s a few photos of some fun that hands are having as they do lots of movin’ and groovin’. Can your family do some of these this weekend?
