Document Summary

Between 4-6 are less dramatic than the first year of life, but still impressive. 3-4: walks upstairs one foot per step, skips on two feet, walks on tiptoe, pedals and steers, walks in any direction pulling a large toy, jumps. 4-5: walks up and down stairs one foot per step, stands, runs, and walks on tiptoe. 5-6: skips on alternate feet, walks on a line, slides, swings. 3-4: catches large ball between outstretched arms, cuts paper with scissors, holds pencil between thumb and fingers. 4-5: strikes ball with bat, kicks and catches ball, threads beads on a string, grasps pencil properly. 5-6: plays ball games well, threads needle and sews large stitches. Preschoolers make steady progress in motor development - most impressive gains are in large muscle skills. Begin to have the realization that the random lines can have meaning. 3 years - from scribbling to drawing and realizing that can art can stand for something.
