The transferring activities that the children do within the Under 2 classroom help to refine their eye-hand coordination, strengthen the muscles of the hand and wrist, foster concentration, and provide the child with the opportunity to practice daily activities. All of these experiences will help them build the foundation they need to do more complex things as they become more skilled. (Click for more information and full photos.)

The solar system is a very popular topic within the classroom. The child is invited to work with the solar system activity where they can learn about planets, asteroids, comets, and other interesting facts about space. In this image, the child arranged the planets in order from their distance from the sun, and followed up with their own drawing of the solar system.

The child’s eye-hand coordination skills are used and refined while working on the Prick-a-Shape activity. After the shape has been pricked all around its outline, the child
can feel the bumpy trail, hold up their sheet towards the light to see the pattern or
delicately tear out the pattern from the surrounding area. (Click for more information.)

When we explore playdough and focus on manipulating the dough into specific simple shapes, we open an opportunity to develop proprioception: the sense that enables us to know where our body parts are, and what they are doing, without visually observing them. Manipulating the dough and aiming towards specific shapes is a fun way to experiment with pressure control while reinforcing this vital sensory system! (Please click for more information.)
