Welcome to the latest edition of Little Learners


In this issue, we’ve teamed up with our friends at Cosy, Yellow Door, Learn Well and the NSPCC to bring you ideas and inspiration focused around the theme of physical development.


Find out from Cath at Learn Well why body awareness is important for physical development.


Get your aprons on and get ready to enjoy some marvellous mark making activities that even the most reluctant writers will enjoy.


Take inspiration from other early years settings by checking out their takes on physical development activities.


Yellow Door shows us five fantastic activity ideas to help develop those important fine motor skills.


Learn new and inspirational ways to use loose parts to support physical development with a little help from Cosy.


All this and more! We hope you enjoy Little Learners issue 14.
