December's Fingerplay of the Month
December's fingerplay of the month helps young children learn the important skill of counting in a fun and seasonal way. It also encourages them to work on their motor skills because this fingerplay requires them to lift just one finger at a time, which is a learned skill that takes time and practice. Enjoy this fingerplay during the snowy months and watch your favorite little fingers and young minds get better at moving and counting.
