Progression des activités pratiques Nous sommes heureuses de vous annoncer que les 33 activités pratiques que nous proposions aux enfants de Gennevilliers sont maintenant en ligne sous forme de vidéos. La vidéo postée hier, « Se laver les mains », clôturait cette série. Nous vous invitons à présenter toutes ces activités entre 2 ans 1/2 et 4 ans 1/2. Autrement dit, dès l’entrée en Petite section, et dans l’idéal, jusqu’à la fin de la Moyenne section. En effet, des enfants plus âgés seraient bien moins intéressés que des petits à ouvrir et fermer des pinces à linge, à balayer, à boutonner et déboutonner un vêtement, etc. Dans quel ordre présenter ces activités ?
