Description: This Spatial Awareness Activity resource is designed to support children's spatial perceptual development. Spatial awareness is knowing where your body is in space in relation to objects or other people. To have good spatial awareness, you also need to understand and respond to a change in position from these objects. This is a complex skill that children develop from an early age. Spatial perception is the ability to perceive an object's position in relation to yourself or in relation to other items. It implies the ability to perceive which way an object or symbol is positioned/turned. For some children, this skill is difficult to develop, although there are lots of activities parents can do to promote spatial awareness. This resource includes various activities to practice visual-spatial skills needed for early spatial cognition and spatial planning. It has easier and more challenging exercises. Easier activities can be used from age 4 . This is the first deck in a series of 3 resources to develop special perceptual skills.
