Gross motor skills in action! 💪✨
Mrs. Micaela is guiding this kiddo through a mini obstacle course. Like stepping up small raised steps, balancing across a plank, walking across more steps, and finishing strong with some trampoline jumps!
Obstacle courses are a fun and powerful way to build gross motor skills, which are so important for:
• Balance and coordination
• Core and leg strength
• Body awareness and motor planning
• Confidence with movement (and trying hard things!)
The best part? You can work on these skills at home too!
Try:
• Stepping over pillows or couch cushions
• Walking across a line of tape or a low curb
• Jumping on a trampoline or hopping between spots on the floor
• Creating a simple “step, balance, jump” path using stairs, boxes, or sturdy books
Movement doesn’t have to be complicated, it can be intentional and FUN!
Way to go, kiddo! 🎉
