  I made the rattles from recycled boxes and filled them with different objects to make sounds when the babies shake them up. Rattles can help to teach babies many new skills. When we hold a rattle up, babies might first look at the rattle with their eyes. If we move the rattle from one side to the other, babies learn to visually track, or coordinate their eyes together to watch a moving toy. The sounds rattles make can also alert babies to noise. If they hear the sound of a rattle, babies will eventually turn their heads towards the sound.  At first, babies will hold their rattles tightly with a strong grasp reflex. As their fine motor skills develop, they will learn to hold and shake the rattle in the air. Learning Outcome: 4.3 – Children transfer and adapt what they have learned from one context to another   National Quality Standard: 3.2.2 – Resources, materials, and equipment allow for multiple uses, are sufficient in number, and enable every child t...

Material I need to make this fine motor activity are small hula hoop – I crochet it around to make it soft to hold for babies. I also use bottle lid. I made a small hole on the lid and put it in the shoelaces then tie them in the hula hoop. Fine motor activity in the early year’s help children improve their pincer grasp (grasping an object with their thumb and pointer finger using their preferred hand). Learning Outcome: 4.4 – Children resource their own learning through connecting with people, place, technologies, and natural and processed materials   National Quality Standard: 3.2.2 – Resources, materials, and equipment allow for multiple uses, are sufficient in number, and enable every child to engage in play-based learning   Principle And Practice: Learning through play   Theorist: Erik Erikson – The child is considered an active learner going through stages

  Matching activity helping children to improve several cognitive abilities like visual memory, short term memory, pattern recognition, and helps with focus.   The material I need are cardboard that I cut in card size, and coloured felt soft fabric. I use Velcro, which is a hook-and-loop fastener, to fasten the card and the felt together.   Learning Outcome: 4.2 – Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, and investigating   National Quality Standard: 3.2.2 – Resources, materials, and equipment allow for multiple uses, are sufficient in number, and enable every child to engage in play-based learning   Principle And Practice: Learning through play   Theorist: Erik Erikson – The child is considered an active learner going through stages  

  Sensory stimulation is an important way that babies first get to know the world around them. As sensory play progresses to hands-on activities, it also plays an important role in helping children build cognitive skills involved in problem solving and abstract thinking.  I made the resources from cardboard cut in handprint shape. Then I glued different materials on top of it for children to explore their sensory touch.                                                                                  

  Loose parts play helps children develop creative and critical thinking skills by encouraging them to use their imagination and experiment with new ideas freely. Loose parts give children the freedom to arrange and rearrange, essentially using the parts to create their own rules and designs, which allows the focus of the experience to be on the process rather than the product.  Fine motor skills are developed and strengthened when children grasp and pick up small objects.  EYLF Learning Outcomes 4.1 – Children develop dispositions for learning (curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity)   National Quality Standard 1.1.2 – Each child’s current knowledge, strengths, ideas, culture, abilities, and interests are the foundation of the program   Theorist Link Erik Erikson – Qualitative changes in the way children think. The child is considered an active learner going th...

Tugging boxes help young children explore cause and effect while also experiencing different textures (sensory play) and building fine motor skills by wrapping their fingers around small items and developing muscles by pulling.   The material I need are box and coloured laces. I made small holes in the box and threaded the lace through the holes.   Learning Outcome: 4.2 – Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, and investigating   National Quality Standard: 3.2.2 – Resources, materials, and equipment allow for multiple uses, are sufficient in number, and enable every child to engage in play-based learning   Principle And Practice: Learning through play   Theorist: Erik Erikson – The child is considered an active learner going through stages    

  Zip game is a great activity to practice many learning opportunities such as: · fine motor development · hand and eye coordination · concentration and problem solving     Materials I need are zippers in different colours glued o n cardboard.   For young children, learning how to use zippers can be difficult, but that is where learning through play can help them. This fun activity is a great way to encourage the skills needed for using zippers. To make this activity more interactive, we can ask questions like: Do you have clothes with zippers? Where have you seen zippers before?   The area I am developing through this activity is to show them how to handle and use zippers themselves. This game will teach them responsibility and to support their self-dressing skills.   EYLF Learning Outcomes 1.3 – Children develop knowledgeable and confident self-identities   National Quality Standard 1.1.3  – All aspects of the pr...
