The Head Start Child Development and
Early Learning Framework Domains
Approaches to Learning:
Object control activities increase children's capacity to maintain concentration over
time on a task and allows them to voluntarily participate in a variety of tasks and
activities
Science:
Children use the senses to gather information, investigate materials, and observe
processes and relationships. Object control activities help increase awareness and
beginning understanding of changes in materials and cause-effect relationships.
Fine Motor Skills:
Control of the small muscles, especially those in the hands, to execute small movements, such
as picking up a raisin, cutting with scissors, writing, and using buttons, snaps, and shoelaces.
Object control activities help with hand- eye coordination.
Gross Motor Skills:
Control of the large muscles, such as those in the arms and legs. Gross motor activities
include walking, running, and climbing. – These activities help with learning object control
and learning to use your arms and legs.
