Fingers & Toes
Fingers, toes, hands and feet are the first parts of the body recognised by young children.
They are easily seen and enable children to move, explore, create and discover. This week in
Play School we explore hands and feet through movement and creative, tactile
experiences. We also explore animal feet through games and observation and provide
children with opportunities to develop their fine and gross motor co-ordination.

cardboard. Include hands and fingers pointing
upwards and feet and toes pointing to the

Stick the stand to your cardboard cut-out so
