Since the weather has been nicer, we have been taking our ‘squiggle while you wiggle’ sessions outdoors. We bring the big speaker outside and dance our moves out before we mark-make. This allows us to develop our gross motor skills, making the shape of the squiggle with ribbons and pom-poms. Then we use our fine motor skills to create our marks on the ground using chalks. Drawing on the ground helps us to develop our core strength which in turn will help us handwriting when we move onto letter formation. As you can see we have been perfecting spiral and corkscrew squiggles.
