Physical gross motor skills underpin child development. Children depend on the development of their gross motor skills so that they can balance, walk, run and manipulate objects. It is important to develop these skills by having equipment that they can push, move, ride on, throw, kick and crawl in. After mastering large scale movements, children eventually develop their fine motor skills and higher cognitive skills.
The equipment below was tested with children aged one to two years.
