Mark Making on the Floor

We don't have to draw and write at a table! Drawing and writing on the floor can be motivating and brings a range of benefits. It helps develop core body strength and strengthen the muscles you are working on when you do Pilates! It also lets children work on a bigger scale and encourages them to look at what each other is doing. Whenever we get out large sheets of paper and make space for floor working, we always have lots of children coming over and asking if they can have a turn too. Sometimes we draw maps or story backgrounds and then use small world toys to act out stories on the drawings we have made.
