The therapy ball provides lots of opportunities to complete activities involving the whole body and coordinating the arms and legs together, thus facilitating gross motor development. It’s the perfect tool / toy to use for all ages!
The scooter board is a motivating toy / tool that children love to play with! It’s great for working on balance and upper body strength, as well as bilateral coordination and moving through obstacles to improve motor planning and spatial awareness.
A hula hoop can be used for more than just twirling around your body! The activities we show you with a hula hoop (sometimes more than one hula hoop!) help improve gross motor skills by incorporating new whole-body movements, coordination, and balance!
A Bosu balance ball is designed for improving balance and coordination, so we use it for those same purposes! By adding fun toys and movements, as well as partner activities, it’s a great tool to use to improve gross motor skills and motor planning abilities!
Both! The Gross Motor Skills Activity Course includes activities and modifications beneficial for therapists to implement into their treatment plans, as well as parents to implement functional, therapeutic activities into their daily routine.
While we do recommend the basic materials for this course: therapy ball, scooter board, hula hood, and bosu ball, we do suggest alternative household materials to use for the activities!
The activities in the Gross Motor Skills Activity Course are best suited for children 3 years and up, however this greatly depends on the ability of the child. We do share modifications to grade the activities up and down per child.
