Motor Development

Gross and fine motor development is the way children grow their ability to move their bodies and perform general and specific actions help to support the development of cognitive abilities. The way children learn is affected heavily by the way they develop the ability to use their bodies. At our Mud Pies sessions, we support children to climb small trees, hang from branches, run through rolling spaces and tip toe down streams – activities that support the development of the building blocks needed to read, write and grow. Children need to be able to climb a tree before being able to write a sentence.

“Movement is at the very center of young children’s lives. It is an important facet of all aspects of their development, whether in the motor, cognitive, or affective domains of human behavior. To deny children the opportunity to reap the many benefits of regular, vigorous physical activity is to deny them the opportunity to experience the joy of efficient movement, the health effects of movement, and a lifetime as confident, competent movers.” Gallahue, D. L. (1993)
