Hi
I have to prepare and demonstrate how i promote young childrens physical activity and movement skills.
I am struggling to come up with a activity for a 15mth old and nearly 3 year old i am a childminder so restricted with space.
I have to explain how it allows all children to develop and extend their movement skills. I also have to include how it meets the individual movements skills promotes confidence and encourages physical play.
Any help would be much appreciated
thanks

Hi

What about a simple activity such as different size balls/beanbags which will encourage movements skills such as throwing (into buckets), kicking , catching, rolling etc this is will enable you to challenge the 3 year old and let the 15 month child experiment.

Just tried to think of something that is easy for the 15 month and the 3 year old can be challenged more.
