A complete movement curriculum for toddlers
Toddlers need--and love--to move! Young children are ready to use their
muscles and minds as they stretch, dance, wiggle, explore, and learn.
This physical education program incorporates more than 50
developmentally appropriate activities designed to help toddlers channel
their energy in creative, beneficial ways as they develop habits that
encourage lifelong health and fitness and success in all areas of
learning.
Everything you need to get started is here, including:
An introduction to implementing physical education into your
curriculum
An explanation of the ways creative movement supports children's
physical, social/emotional, cognitive, and creative development
Tips to create a positive learning environment, suggestions for adding
equipment to activities, simple questions to evaluate whether or not the
children are meeting the activity's objective, and information on how
the activities meet early learning standards outlined by NAEYC and
AAHPERD
Fourteen lesson plans with four 30-minute activities per plan--plus
extensions and adaptations for children with special needs
Curriculum Connectors that identify each activity's correlation with
content learning areas
A CD filled with original music to add joy and energy to the activities
