Hoe doe je deze activiteit
Show your child how to move like different animals. Crawl like a bear, hop like a bunny, or waddle like a duck. Demonstrate each movement and let them try. Keep it playful and silly. This turns movement practice into an imaginative game.
Waarom het werkt
Varied physical activities build diverse motor skills and maintain engagement. Studies show that functional movement training improves multiple gross motor skills including different forms of locomotion (Hao et al., 2023). Animal walks provide practice with different movement patterns while tapping into toddlers' natural interest in animals and pretend play.
Tips voor ouders
Do not worry if they cannot copy the movements exactly. Any movement counts.
Stick to one or two animals at first. Too many choices can be overwhelming.
