Today I observed Aimee playing in the sandpit, but thats no suprise, as she loves being outdoors and getting her hands dirty! Someone had put sand on the table and Aimee decided to explore this. Instead of grabbing a handful or using her palm to pick it up, she slid her hand through the sand and picked it up on top of her hand. Ruby came along and started playing with it too. Aimee looked over at Ruby while still balancing the sand on her hand.
Aimee loves to use her hands and fingers to explore and learn. When she moved on to digging with the spade, she would still need to use her hands to put the sand in the bucket instead of just using the spade. Aimee is very aware of her physical body and what it can do, and uses it as a tool for her learning. Whether she is in the sandpit, painting, messy play or climbing, she is confident to use all her senses to explore with.
