The first of four sessions exploring a 'winter wonderland'.
1. Busy bodies, cosy toes
This first session allows the children to take a ‘through the window’ look at the winter wonderland outside. Preparing to play means dressing up warm and stepping out to meet a friend. Throwing small snowballs and pushing a large one are just two of the different movement opportunities developed in the session.
