We had a great time Glow in the Dark Bowling today!! Our classrooms come up with great gross motor activities when the weather won't let us get outside! Developing gross motor skills is an essential part of a child's development. Children start developing their gross motor skills from birth through obtaining control over their head, trunk and limbs and rapidly increase their abilities throughout the preschool years. Gross motor skills are essential because a child’s body develops from large movements with arms and legs to smaller more refined movements of the hands and fingers. Gross motor control enables children to develop the fine motor movements that are essential for success in the school years.
