This session aims to help parents gain a deeper understanding of what we mean by motor skills, how children develop their gross and fine motor skills and the importance of developing these skills for other aspects of learning such as writing.
An architect by the name of Simon Nicholson developed the Theory of Loose Parts in the 1970’s. He believed that all children are creative and innovative and that this creativity and innovation should be nurtured in all. Loose parts are any material (natural or synthetic) that can be moved, rotated, stacked, sorted, combined, taken apart and re-assembled in endless ways.
