Barefoot is Best!

I just love these soft foot covers that I have been seeing the pre-walkers and walkers wearing! It is so consistant with the Kindermusik philosophy (and my own) that barefoot is best! Especially during Kindermusik classes, it is great to sport no socks or shoes because children learn through their senses especially by the touch and feeling on the bottom of their feet! The more senses that are involved in learning, the greater the capacity to absorb the experience (for everyone)! Freedom of movement is important always but especially during class where creative movement emerges and takes root. I encourage parents too, to enjoy class without shoes when comfortable! Don't you just love a walk without shoes on the ocean beach? Hot sand between your toes...Doesn't it ad another dimension to the beach experience that cannot be replicated? Bare feet are important for Baby's sensory development! So, I just LOVE these covers!! But, from one who grew up in moccasins, I am a little biased!

    With summer upon us, I'm seeing lots of toes and I love it!!! (Although it's hard to resist tickling them but I manage!)

    I've added in toe warm-ups so that all children are without socks in class! I see that they move more freely, are more comfortable, and it is also a nice novelty to have shoes and socks off in this sort of environment. I haven't met one yet who wants to keep them on (although I would certainly honor that!)
