Welcome to Our Adventure in Milestones!

Introduction

Hello, little explorers! 🌟 Today, we are going to embark on a fantastic adventure to discover the Developmental Milestones—those exciting steps we take as we grow.

What Are Developmental Milestones?

Developmental milestones are like magical markers on our journey of growing up. They help us understand what we can do at different ages, from learning to crawl, walk, or even talk!

Start the Lesson: Storytime Adventure 🌈

To kick off our lesson, let’s gather in a cozy circle for a special story!

The Tale of Benny the Baby Kangaroo

Once upon a time, in the sun-kissed Australian bush, there was a cute little kangaroo named Benny. Benny was not just any kangaroo; he was on a mission to learn all about the exciting things he could do as he grew up!

• Crawling: One day, Benny saw his friends bouncing around, and he wanted to join! But first, he needed to crawl. Benny practiced every day.
• Walking: After lots of practice, Benny stood up and took his first wobbly steps. “Look at me!” he said.
• Talking: As he explored the bush, Benny learned to say “G’day!” to all the animals he met.

As we read about Benny, let’s think about all the wonderful things we can do as we grow, just like him!

Let's Chat!

After our story, we will sit together and share what milestones we are most proud of. Have you taken your first steps yet? Or maybe you can count to ten? 💕

Activities to Explore

1. Milestone Movement: Let’s pretend to crawl like Benny, then stand up and walk around the room!
2. Art Time: Draw a picture of your favourite milestone. Can you show a friend what you can do?

Conclusion

Our journey is just beginning, little explorers! As we learn about our own milestones, remember, it’s all about the fun of growing and discovering new things every day. 🎉
