The Little Gym at Home Parent & Child 4-18 months Week 8

Today’s class with Teacher Marlene focusses on the key gymnastics skills of rotation and spinning. Gymnastics is the only activity or sport where you are rotating around every axis of the body. Forwards, backwards and sideways in the vertical and horizontal position. This is VERY unique. All these rotations help develop the balance control centre, body part awareness and spatial orientation. We will also show you some tricks to trick your babies into tummy time. For today’s session, try to have a few things handy like tea towels, scarves, balls, bells, stick or wooden spoon and a small step will come in handy. We will use these in our grip it challenges and for our Sensory Fun Zone.
