My Project

Many of the items will assist my students with gross motor movement, exploration and assist those that need a bit more stimulation and movement. There are a variety of things I included to aid in their gross motor exploration which work in a myriad of ways. From simple tossing to climbing and exploring, to up and down movement and more! All these will help my busy toddlers fulfill those gross motor needs.

The instruments aid in many ways from rhythm to sound exploration to increased cognitive functioning, focus, memory.

Music and instruments are a crucial part of early childhood as is working with gross and fine motor skills. Thank you for your support for my students!
