Description
We have listened to teachers and they are telling us that children are stuggling with fine motor skills and stitting up in a chair. We have included in this album many opportunities for children to build core strength and trunk control and also upper body strength and big muscle movements as well as dough dancing for the smaller muscle activities
A page for each song, detailing ideas on how to use the song and suggested resources to support this activity. Also links to EYFS and KS1 and suggested observation opportunities. Songs to motivate children to move, developing both the body and brain. Jig like a pirate, Party with the dinosaurs, Crawl like a crab, Smile like a crocodile, Take a taxi ride and Dance with dough Reggae style. (please note cd is sold seperately)
Most importantly Pop like Popcorn makes learning fun!
