In Terrific Twos and Rising Threes:
We explore lots of different things to find out what we can do with them
We jump, bounce or swing our arms when we hear music or songs that we like
We join in with some of the words and actions we know when adults sing our favourite songs
We use chunky pens or crayons to make lines that go up and down and round and round
We start making different sounds, like fast and loud, when playing musical instruments or everyday things like spoons, pots or plastic bowls
We use our hands to make marks in paint or mud
We pretend that a toy or thing is something else, such as pretending that a teddy is a baby
Give children a big piece of paper or shower curtain on the floor to see what marks they can make with a paint brush, their hands or feet
Give children ribbons or scarves to hold as they dance to music
Give children an old telephone so that they can pretend to phone you
Give children a bowl of soapy water so that they can wash their dolls
