The dramatic play area was alive with activity today. It is fun to listen in and hear the conversations that take place.
"What do you like with your cocoa? Cookies or spaghetti?"
"I think I don't like hot cocoa. I only like it warm."
"My mom puts ice in mine so it's not too hot to hurt my tongue."
"Oh, I will blow on it for you, don't worry."
The reason it’s on the wall…Kids need to be doing activities or work on vertical surfaces to build up arm strength.
Making this little change from doing it on the ground or at the table to on the wall actually does so much good for developing muscle strength.
Next time you have the choice between an activity on a table or one on a wall — give the wall a chance.
