This lesson plan is designed for infants aged 12-24 months, focusing on enhancing hand-eye coordination through engaging play activities. It spans 30-45 minutes and accommodates a group size of six to eight infants along with their caregivers.
The session begins with a welcoming circle time that introduces the theme and involves a participatory song. Infants then rotate through five activity stations, each promoting different aspects of hand-eye coordination: rolling soft balls, stacking foam blocks, manipulating colorful scarves, exploring sensory bins, and engaging with musical instruments. Each activity encourages movement, coordination, and tactile exploration while fostering caregiver-infant interaction.
The session concludes with a group closure where participants share their experiences, followed by an optional free play period for independent exploration. Caregivers receive feedback opportunities, and extensions for at-home activities encourage continued development. Safety precautions are highlighted to ensure a secure environment for all infants. This plan emphasizes the importance of playful learning in developing foundational motor skills for young children.
