In Terrific Twos and Rising Threes:
• We walk upstairs with help from adults
• We come downstairs backwards on our knees, holding on to the steps and come down one step at a time
• We learn that when we move a chunky crayon or pen round, up and down and across, the marks we make on the paper look the same as the way we move our hands
We talk about what we like and don’t like to eat and drink
We try new things to eat
We hold lidded cups in both hands and try not spill too much drink as we put the cups to our mouths
We talk about when we need our nappies or pants changed
We talk about when we need to sit on the potty or go to the toilet
