Peterborough Nursery January 2019

Mixing, stirring and pouring were all part of the children’s play in our mud kitchen. Mud Play is important for children to develop and practice their fine and gross motor skills, increase awareness of their senses, particularly touch, improve hand/ eye coordination and develop their social and emotional skills, including taking turns and leading/following directions. Did you know that   all those physical skills help the development of muscle and movement to help children with mark making, drawing and early writing skills.
