Ms. Kelsie and Ms. Liz's class are learning about Mat Man!
Mat Man helps children learn about their bodies by building a person step by step using hands-on pieces and movement. These lessons strengthen fine motor skills, body awareness, listening skills, and early pre-writing skills—all while having fun! We love watching learning come to life through play.
