How do preschoolers learn?

Gross Motor Development

Preschoolers are ready for some more intricate footwork, and will begin to experiment with running, skipping, hopping, balancing on one foot, and spinning. Tumbling and somersaults are also large muscle building activities that preschoolers enjoy.

Encourage outdoor play, running, simple obstacle courses, and follow the leader. Developing the large motor skills with physical activity not only builds the muscles, but also build endurance, benefits breathing, and blood circulation.
