DOUBLE TAP TO ZOOM WITH PHONE OR TABLET coordination, facilitates pre-writing skills and serves as a medium for children to progress through the many stages of scribbling. Verbiage fluff? Not to the parent who needs this from you. We need to know our stuff! Really— you DO know these things! It’s just that when we feel on the spot, flustered, or are distracted by twenty children, we might forget. So we included them here to help you remember. At the bottom of each Ooey Gooey ® activity page we have included some of the concepts which can be applied to the experience. This way everyone can continue developing and deepening their understanding of the importance of creating hands-on, child- centered early childhood environments. It is my wish that these additions might assist you as you work together creating magical, engaging places for children and their families. All my best to you.
