Cambridge children collect leaves to enhance fine motor skills developments
Exploring the natural environment outdoors is consistently encouraged at Bright Horizons Wolfson Court Day Nursery and Preschool in Cambridge.
The children recently took part in a heuristic outdoor play activity which saw them collect leaves which had fallen from trees in the nursery garden.
Nursery Manager Michela commented: “Supporting their fine motor skills, they placed the leaves alongside other materials onto sticky back plastic. They then took the materials off before placing them into a basket.”
Heuristic play and loose parts is a particular aspect of the Bright Beginnings curriculum which allows children to think creatively with loose parts and enhance their fine motor skills development.

Discovering wildlife has become a fond interest of children at Bright Horizons Wavendon Day Nursery and Preschool in Milton Keynes.
The children have recently shown an interest in the wildlife within the nursery garden area and were recently inspired to create pictures of birds which they had found. They were provided with paper, coloured pencils and an image of a bird each to draw their own versions. The birds included the robin, goldfinch and yellow wagtail.
Nursery Manager Jane said: “The children used this opportunity to show off their fine motor skills and also to learn about the different types of birds.”
Arts and crafts is a particular aspect of the company’s Bright Beginnings curriculum which allows children to experiment creatively and enhance their fine motor skills development.
