This lesson plan is designed for infants aged 6-12 months and focuses on enhancing balance and coordination through engaging activities. The session begins with a group circle where caregivers and infants participate in a lively song that encourages movement. Warm-up activities involve tummy time, where infants reach for toys to strengthen their core and improve balance.
The core of the lesson includes two interactive stations: one featuring wobble boards for stepping practice, and another where infants roll lightweight balls to each other, promoting both crawling and coordination skills. A movement scarf dance follows, allowing infants to explore rhythm and body movement while waving and tossing scarves to music.
The session concludes with a cool-down that includes gentle stretches, fostering relaxation. Throughout the lesson, caregivers are encouraged to observe their infants' progress, engage with them actively, and continue similar activities at home to further support motor skill development. Overall, the lesson promotes a safe and stimulating environment where infants can develop essential motor skills while enjoying playful interactions.
