Building strong foundations

The Infant-Toddler KDI “Physical Development and Health” focuses on helping young children develop their large and small motor skills, build body awareness, and learn healthy habits through everyday movement and play. This includes things like crawling, walking, grasping, and learning how to care for their own needs with support.

Suggested classroom materials...

  • Soft climbing equipment (small ramps, foam blocks)
  • Push and pull toys
  • Balls of different sizes
  • Ball Pit
  • Ride-on toys
  • Tunnels for crawling
  • Large stacking toys or rings
  • Sensory walking paths (soft mats, textured surfaces)
  • Simple self-help items (child-sized spoons, cups)
  • Toys that encourage grasping (rattles, busy boards)
  • Outdoor play equipment (if available, like low slides or climbers)
