When it comes to early childhood education, students need to develop both fine and gross motor skills. According to the Encyclopedia of Children's Health:
Fine Motor Skills: Fine motor skills generally refer to the small movements of the hands, wrists, fingers, feet, toes, lips, and tongue.
Gross Motor Skills: Gross motor skills are the abilities required in order to control the large muscles of the body for walking, running, sitting, crawling , and other activities.
At ActivEd, we know how important it is for students to develop both sets of skills. That's why Walksheets are included with every Walkabouts subscription. What are Walksheets? Designed by teachers with standards in mind, Walksheets are downloadable PDFs that are included with each lesson. When you use Walksheets as a companion to Walkabouts, you can help students refine both their gross and fine motor skills!
