On Thursday this last week we had a blast doing some "Indoor Ice-Waltzing". This would be a GREAT activity to try at home. We cut out wax paper close to the size of the children's feet and had them take their socks off so that their feet would stick a little better to the wax paper and then we introduced them to the Waltz (compliments of Baby Einstein Playtime Music Box) and encouraged them to move their bodies to the music as they "skated" around the carpet. I don't know how much "Waltzing" we actually got, but this was a wonderful Gross Motor activity and the kids ate it up since we don't get to go outside these days. And it actually works! Mrs. Charlotte and I were surprised how well the paper worked to help you glide around the room and didn't hesitate to particpate ourselves. :)
