From the moment they are born, children are fascinated with learning what their bodies can do. Gaining control of their muscles and mastering physical skills gives children a tremendous sense of achievement, building confidence and self esteem.
Active play with toys that encourage children to move and use their whole body (gross motor skills) help children improve coordination. Developing balance, strength and overall fitness sets the stage for healthy bodies throughout a child’s life.
Toys that encourage children to develop their smaller muscles (fine motor skills) help them acquire the dexterity and coordination that is vital to learning to do up buttons, tie shoes, and later draw, write and so much more. The more children practice these skills the finer their control becomes.
