The children at Little Birds enjoyed twisting, turning and pinching the nuts and bolts. A great way to strengthen their fine motor skills.

Three children are gathered around a black sensory table, actively playing with colorful building blocks and other small objects. The setting appears to be a classroom.

The children loved the obstacle course. They balanced their way over the stepping stones, wooden blocks and the tyres. The more they moved,the more confidence they gained.

Several children are outside, walking along a line of wooden blocks, seemingly balancing as they move from one block to the next.

Number recognition – the numbers 1-5 were displayed on the chalkboard. The children were able to recognise the number and use their fingers to show the adult.
