A weekly movement class for toddlers aged roughly 2 to 5, attended together with a parent or another close grown-up. Physiotherapist Marianne Mogensen builds each session around balance and motor skills, free play and imaginative games. The big parachute becomes a bubbling sea, a snake curls across the floor and a tiger creeps through the undergrowth.
Each week the group pretends to be somewhere new, such as a beach, a sewer, a zoo, a jungle, a pirate ship or outer space. Most of the time goes on the obstacle course and the swings, with singing, music and the odd jungle drum along the way. The children lead the play, and the adults either join in or help out, as they prefer. There is plenty of freedom and very few rules.
