Opportunities for Gross Motor Skills

We do not have stairs in our house, so we do not have the option for A&G to climb up and down steps. I have improvised by placing the cushions for our sofa on the floor and creating a step.  G can climb up onto the sofa easily, A on the other hand is still building up her confidence to climb up to the second level.

The beauty of our sofa is it's free (!) and it can be configured differently depending on how many cushions I want to place on the floor.

G worked out very quickly how to climb up and I taught her how and where to climb down. I will do the same once A works out how to climb up.

There's nothing more pleasurable then watching your child learn to do something for themselves. The big smile on their face is worth a million dollars.
