Today, the little ones had an opportunity to visit a very child-friendly place. Arriving at this restaurant after quite a long bus ride, the children were warmly welcomed by very friendly staff members. After the children settled on the large table prepared for them, they were encouraged to go and play in the large indoors supervised play area. This was not only fun for the children but it also enhanced the children’s gross motor skills when they jumped, climbed and did other movements as they went down the slides, climbed ladders and passed through tubes.
After enjoying this free time, the little ones were given the opportunity to use their little hands create their own pizzas. Each child was offered with a rolling pin to open the small piece of dough in the shape of a pizza base. This encouraged the children to use their fine motor skills. The little ones were then offered a spoon and red sauce to spread on the pizza base and mozzarella to put on top of it. Different ingredients were then put on the table for the children to choose and put as toppings to their pizzas. Once the pizzas were baked in the oven, the children ate the pizza they created themselves.
In this outing, the children were given the opportunity to not only enhance the development of their fine and gross motor skills but to gain knowledge of how a pizza is done and the different ingredients used. It was an educational outing which the children enjoyed!
