MOVEMENT MONDAY: GROSS MOTOR PLAY

You shared some fantastic ideas for gross motor play on our Facebook page last Monday and we are excited to show you our favorite 3 today!

We have been moving and grooving all week here at The Inspired Treehouse.  We’re on week 5 of our Pen Pal Project and we have continued our ABCs of Child Development Series with K is for Kicking.

Here are our 3 favorite gross motor play ideas from Movement Monday Last week!  After you have checked them out, please head on over to Facebook and show us what you are doing to encourage your children to move today!
