The Ontario Early Years Program reminds parents that play is children's work. Play is how children learn concepts of fast and slow, big, bigger and biggest. Play is how the children practise their fine motor skills (colouring, stacking, lacing and puzzles). Play is how they learn cause and effect (watch them knock down the towers they build). Play, guided and enjoyed with their parents and caregivers, provides language development. The group in Walton enjoyed making their favourite sport sticker picture (with many up and, coming soccer players). They practised following directions with the rhythm sticks and they love forming a Mickey Mouse Band. FROM WALTON The group keeps growing so remember everyone is welcome to bring their children for a fun interactive morning from 10 7 11:30 a.m. at Duff's United Church every Wednesday morning.
