Nimble Kids with Alice Curtis
04. Sensory exploration.
Sensory exploration begins as a newborn. Your baby is looking, listening, feeling their environment, responding and exploring. Before 3 months of age, you can encourage reaching and eye tracking for your baby whilst laying on their back.
03. Developing control and coordination.
The Pikler can support this development from a baby through to the skills that a 5 to 6-year-old-child develops including confidence with climbing up and down and harmonising movements with awareness of the space around us.
02. Play and imaginative skill building.
From a castle holding a princess, to a bridge over treacherous water, the Pikler Triangle design can be used as a structure for children’s play. The design makes it a blank template to motivate your child to explore and use their imagination.
01. Upper body and core strengthening.
For younger ones, core strength is the building block behind maintaining standing and sitting positions without support as well as affecting their head, shoulder, elbow, wrist and finger positions.
