Physical

development
The preschool years were a time of apparently constant
movement. Preschoolers are busy moving into their
environment, inside and out. They spend a lot of time running,
climbing, jumping, and chasing; they wrote, painted, built,
poured, cut scissors, put together puzzles, and stringed beads.
Their motor skills have been highly refined since they were
young; they are more coordinated than toddlers and more
purposeful in their actions. They exemplify speed and strength,
and they become more independent.
Physical growth and development need more than just being
taller, stronger or bigger. It includes a series of changes in body
size, composition, and proportions. Biological and
environmental factors also affect physical growth and
development
As preschoolers ’bodies grow over time, the parts in their brain
that control
movement continue to mature, allowing them to practice gross-
motor skills such as running, jumping, throwing. , climbing,
kicking, and jumping, and fine motor skills such as stringing
beads, drawing, and cutting with scissors.
