Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4,5
Rationale: Acceptable places to climb should be introduced in the toddler years when children are learning to walk, climb, and explore. It is not a topic for a preschool class. All the other topics are appropriate for this age.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Jumping up and down, stacking three or more blocks, and drawing lines on paper are activities that represent milestones for young children. Throwing a ball and observing how it is thrown would assess a milestone for this age. By 45 years, a child begins to throw a ball overhand.
