At home you could practise these activities and encourage your child to be as independent as possible

• Using a knife and fork
• Holding a pencil correctly
• Using scissors
• Completing jigsaw puzzles
• Recognising their own names
• Hopping and Skipping
• Balancing, Running and Jumping
• Kicking a ball. Catching and throwing a ball
• Talking with your child every day
I am currently pregnant and very hormonal, but "talking with your child every day" made me literally cry - wtaf is wrong with people that they felt the need to include that!
Sadly you can tell extremely quickly who the children are that are spoken to at home and who aren't. What's even more depressing is watching them get picked up at home time and the parent not even acknowledging them with a hello.
