Your Question?
PLAN PRESENT and EVALUATE an EXPERIENCE that fosters physical development...

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I have a list of objects and ever so vague ideas but I wouldn't mind some assistance as to how to refine these ideas, please?

Objects;
Colander and pipe cleaners
Bean bags
Ball pit balls (without the ball pit)
Pom poms
Variety of recycled containers
Items that are safe to use in a babies room, that are good for transferring from one container to another...
Playdough
Turning recycables into a slot box example: http://wecandoallthings.blogspot.com.au ... d-box.html

Concepts;
Weaving pipe cleaners through a colander or recyclable object with inserts made.
Making a variety of inserts in a recyclable object, and gathering things like lids and whatnot to put inside inserts.
Play dough with pipe cleaners, pom poms and containers.
Bean bags and/or ball pit balls and a basket, or a recycled object used as a slot or goal (non-competitive).

Description and Message:
Hullo,

I would really appreciate some suggestions or guidance with my assessment. My plan is for a 14 month old girl referred to as 'I'. I am planning for fine motor;
passing objects from hand to hand
wrist rotation
wrist and grasp strength/control
palmar grasp
digital pronate grasp
poking/pointing
throwing/arm strength

Are they appropriate for a 14 month old, will they work in a 0-2 environment (as I am doing this at the centre I work at. 'I' is in the 0-2 YO room). Any suggestions on how to set it up?

You have some great ideas but I think they are too hard for a 14 month old... They would probably suit toddlers better (from 2 to 3 years).

For a 14 month old you can probably do something like:

water play using small containers, cups, strainers (emptying and filling).
sand play using small shovel, bucket etc.
play dough
painting with large paint brushes
crawling through boxes (mini obstacle course)
rolling balls back and forth

Hope this helps,
