✂️ Fine motor skills and hand control
🧠 Planning and ideation
🎯 Attention and task persistence
🤝 Collaboration and sharing ideas

All while working together to see their creations take shape 🧱✨

💧✨ Turning play into skill-building in our Fine Motor Group! ⚽💧

This “Water Soccer” activity might look simple—but it’s packed with opportunities for development 🙌

As children blow, guide, and aim their way to goal, they’re working on:
🖐️ Hand control, precision & grading force
👀 Visual-motor coordination
🌬️ Oral motor control & breath regulation
🧠 Attention, planning & problem-solving

All while staying engaged, having fun, and connecting with peers 💙

🏎️💨 Build. Test. Fun.
Today’s Hot Wheels challenge wasn’t about winning — it was about experimenting!

Kids worked to create:
✨ the longest track
🚀 a track with airtime
🛑 a track that stops

All while practising problem-solving, flexibility, and working on winning and losing skills by noticing what's the most fun rather than what worked the best 😄
