Builds confidence and emotional well-being
“Littlemagictrain has helped children to develop their confidence and desire to communicate, describe, understand, and use new vocabulary. Each session engages all the children in the group and promotes language development through movement, imagination, and play. By week 6 I observed clear improvement in attention, memory, and narrative skills.”
Liz Shoreman, Senior Speech and Language Therapist and Manager, The Speech Bubble.
I am so pleased with how much they’ve engaged with it and with our young age bracket and our range of ages I did worry as if it would engage them, but I’m pleased to see how well they “got it” and how well they responded. Lots of observations and allowing children to participate in a circle time activity where those children normally steer away from structured storytelling.
To quote one of my little ones “Where will Pete take us next?”

The problems faced by children when developing relationships.
Introducing role-play and movement is a wonderful way of helping them to express and understand emotions.
Children and the importance of Kinaesthetic learning
Moving and having fun is the best way to develop your little one’s self-confidence.
Moving and building confidence
The cornerstone of building self-confidence is to make activities fun.
Music and Movement – what does your team really feel about it?
Music and movement are such key areas to children’s learning, but do you know anything about your team’s prior music and movement educational experience as a child or as a teacher and their view of that experience?
