Do you ever dance with your little ones without shoes and socks? Let the soles of your feet the prickly grass or feel the plush carpet or smooth hard wood floor?
And what about those wonderful toes? As anyone who has ever stubbed a toe knows, toes help you balance, they enable you to spring off the floor when you jump, help you to transfer weight from one foot to the other when you walk as well as raise you up on tip-toe.
When kids dance in shoes they miss the tactile sensations their feet can provide them as well as the opportunity to articulate their feet (especially those wonderful toes!)
So the next time you dance with your little ones, pull off those shoes and socks wiggle those toes and make up a feet dance. Scrunch those toes, spread them wide, clap them together, walk on your heels, balance on tip toes, and explore those feet and piggies!
Have fun dancing barefoot with the children in your life!
Sincerely,
Stacey
