Nursery World - A month in the life of Jasmine Maya: Part 17: 16 months old

Physically, Jasmine has developed considerably in the past month. She runs confidently when chasing after the family cats, stopping and starting without stumbling. She is able to carry the pot of cat food for Granny without spilling any. She also likes to dip her hands in their drinking water! Jasmine's mother has been taking her to an activity centre called the Zany Zone. She runs confidently across the soft play blocks, pushes her way through the hanging soft play columns and poles, and walks without concern over the safety netting floors, holding mummy's hand. Jasmine is less sure of the ball pool, tending to stay at the side. But she enjoys handling the balls, throwing and rolling them along the floor. She also likes to tidy them up by putting the stray balls back in the pool.

The soft play tunnel is also very much enjoyed by Jasmine, as is the large slide that she asks for repeatedly, sliding down it with mummy.
