Physical Education
- The child has developed their core muscles and balance through the activity of tummy time.
- Tummy time has helped the child improve their neck and head control.
- The child has learned to roll over and eventually crawl through consistent tummy time practice.
- Tummy time has also helped the child develop their gross motor skills and coordination.
Tummy time is a great way for toddlers to continue their physical development. To further enhance their motor skills, you can introduce toys or objects of interest to encourage reaching and grasping during tummy time. You can also create obstacle courses using soft cushions or pillows to provide additional challenges for the child to maneuver around. Remember to always supervise the child during tummy time and make it a fun and engaging experience.
