We combined some gross motor practice with some pretend play today in a very simple way.
I dug out a 2×4 from our shed and placed it in the yard to be a balance beam.

 |
| “Oh no! Hot, hot hot!” |
 |
| I also tried to show Big Brother how to “walk the line” with one foot in front of the other. We were partially successful. :) |
 |
| Finally, our tractor became a firetruck to put out the fire… |
