From what I've read with your response so far it all seems to be on the right track. I did notice however with the question it asks you to incorporate both indoor and outdoor play in your plan. So far you have focused more on outdoor play.

With indoor play there is a number of experiences that you can use to facilitates a child's physical development for fine motor, gross motor and co-ordination skills. Some of these include:

- painting
- drawing using different mediums such as thick crayons, chalk, textas etc.
- threading
- beading
- puzzles
- sensory experiences (bird seed, noodles, mud, shaving cream, water play although more for outdoors).
- building using different construction materials
- parachute games

I think the rest of your response is great! Just didn't want you to miss out on the indoor play...

Hope this helps,
