Balance & Coordination Gross Motor Development Self-regulation ...
Ages: 2+
Balance & Coordination Gross Motor Development Self-regulation (heavy work/movement) Sensory Stimulation Core Muscle Strength Pleasant POPPING sound rewards movement How wildly fun it is! 'POP-POP-POP!' Senses go for a ride every time they play. Children will be working out, and burning calories without even knowing it
Rock it, roll it, sit in it or stand! It also serves as a great lesson in cause-and-effect, because children come to learn that their movements result in the amusing popping sounds. Arouses curiosity, stimulates senses, engages imagination, encourages creativity
What kid doesn't like bubble wrap? It seems like any child finds this packing material to be more fun than most toys they own. Having a Teeter Popper is like giving them their own personal stash that never wears out. The difference is that this fun little noise maker also tires them out, and forces them to be physical with their whole body. The child will be exercising muscles and improving coordination without even knowing it and that fun little popping noise will keep them at it for more time than you thought possible. It's not so loud that you'll find it annoying, but it is just satisfying enough to keep them rocking, bouncing, and tipping, over and over again. Get your kids moving to keep them happy and healthy.
Gross motor (physical) skills are those which require whole body movement and which involve the large (core stabilising) muscles of the body to perform everyday functions (standing, walking, running, & sitting upright). It also includes eye-hand coordination skills such as ball skills (throwing, catching, kicking). Gross motor skills are important to enable children to perform every day functions (walking, running, skipping), as well as playground skills (e.g. climbing, sporting skills (e.g. catching, throwing and hitting a ball with a bat) and everyday self-care skills like dressing (where you need to be able to stand on one leg to put your leg into a pant leg without falling over). Gross motor abilities also have an influence on other everyday functions. For example, a child's ability to maintain table top posture (upper body support) will affect their ability to participate in fine motor skills (e.g. writing, drawing and cutting) and sitting upright to attend to class instruction, which then impacts on their academic learning. Gross motor skills impact on your endurance to cope with a full day of school (sitting upright at a desk, moving between classrooms, carrying your heavy school bag).
