2、 Creating centers
Understand that creating centers can be a bit of a challenge. Add a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) one to encourage early recognition of STEM, although you can do a math/science center instead. Treat the center like a "half-team".
Math & Science: These toys and activities can take many forms, but many are fine motor toys.
· Pattern toys, such as multicolored bears or shape blocks are great for spatial understanding. Melissa & Doug are a great resource for these.
· There are various things you can do for a color mixing center, and there are many toys you can buy, but simply allowing access to watercolors and displaying a color wheel is enough for most kids to get pretty creative.
· Use your weekly or monthly theme to your advantage; using ladybug spots to create an addition game or The Very Hungry Caterpillar to encourage patterns are examples of creative ways to incorporate your theme.

3、Gross motor skills
Ideally, you can go outside every day. In reality, there are days when the weather just doesn't let that happen. You need to make sure there are gross motor activities for inside, though this "center" may be kept in the closet until appropriate times, as it can be space consuming and difficult for children to not use during curriculum times. Some great indoor activities include:

Incorporate outdoor activities that you liked to do while growing up.
Gross motor examples include:

· Rock outdoor climbing (this can be made out of tape).
· You can also look up various exercises, such as stretches, easy aerobics, and easy yoga and do them in a center.
