We took the kids to the 'football field'. Our outing today focused more on how we got there rather than where we were. Some of the kids that can walk are learning to walk with the caterpillar, this is a continuous process however. Thanks to the caterpillar we could practice walking and coordinating all the way to the outing. Once we reached the football field, the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and chasing the ball all around the field. The kids during their outing were able to develop their motor skills. Ability to co-ordinate, awareness for their own body, as well as an understanding of the importance of maintaining their own health and well-being.
