Holding a raised-hand position while riding during hippotherapy helps strengthen a child’s core and postural muscles by removing hand support and encouraging independent sitting.

As the horse moves rhythmically, the child must actively engage their trunk to maintain balance, which improves body awareness and postural control.

Keeping the arms lifted also enhances shoulder stability, bilateral coordination, and motor planning, while sustaining the position promotes attention, self-regulation, and endurance.

Overall, this activity supports independence, confidence, and functional motor skills needed for daily activities.

Gross motor exercise enhances children’s learning by activating both the body and the brain at the same time.

Activities such as running, jumping, climbing, and balancing build core strength, coordination, and body awareness, which help children sit longer, focus better, and participate more confidently in learning tasks.

Movement increases blood flow to the brain, supporting attention, memory, and problem-solving skills.

Through active play, children also learn to manage emotions, build confidence, and develop social skills like turn-taking and cooperation—making learning more engaging, effective, and enjoyable.

Circling the dot to build pre-writing skills ✍️
This activity targets pencil control, hand–eye coordination, visual-motor integration, and finger stability.
Great for strengthening fine motor control and preparing little hands for handwriting tasks.

Quantity sorting helps children develop early math skills by understanding concepts such as more, less, and equal, which form the foundation for counting, number comparison, and later mathematical learning.

Through sorting activities, children also practise attention, problem-solving, and working memory, as they must remember rules and stay focused to complete the task. In addition, handling and placing objects strengthens fine motor control and hand-eye coordination, supporting writing readiness and daily functional skills.

Unwrapping aluminium foil to take out a marble is a simple yet highly beneficial activity for children.

It helps strengthen fine motor skills as children use their fingers to pinch, pull, and peel the foil, which is essential for later tasks such as writing and self-care.

The activity also encourages bilateral coordination, as both hands work together to stabilise and unwrap the foil, while hand–eye coordination is developed through visually locating the marble and adjusting movements accordingly.

In addition, the different texture and sound of the foil provide rich tactile sensory input, supporting sensory exploration and regulation.

As the marble is hidden, children are also required to problem-solve, stay focused, and persist until the task is completed, helping to build attention span and confidence.

Counting coins, comparing amounts, and making sense of numbers—using real money makes quantity learning more meaningful and fun! 🪙✨ Hands-on play helps build number awareness, attention, and everyday life skills.

Sorting green beans from rice is a sensory-based fine motor activity that supports multiple areas of child development.

It helps strengthen fine motor control and hand–eye coordination as the child uses precise finger movements to locate, grasp, and separate the beans.

The activity also provides rich tactile sensory input through contrasting textures, which supports sensory regulation, especially for children with sensory-seeking behaviours.

In addition, it encourages sustained attention, visual discrimination, and basic cognitive skills such as categorisation, while promoting calm and organised engagement during task participation.
