Many of my special needs students have very poor fine and gross motor skills. Fine motor skills are worked on daily in our classroom using techniques like special writing grips, rolling play doh, coloring in the lines and during many activities of creative play where students are not often aware we are working on these skills. Gross motor skills are more difficult to do in the class room because of space. Even though our students attend a session with a therapist to work on these it is only once weekly which often is not enough. We often try to do activities at recess or gym class to help address these. The Little Tyke cars are a great tool for motor skills. Students have to use there feet to push the cars to move them and keep them in motion. This is a good muscle builder for legs, ankles and helps with strength which is why some of our students have poor motor skills. Having to steer the car helps with arm, wrist and hand strength and with eye hand coordination. The students love these car's and what a better way to improve these much needed skills for them. We currently only have one car. Being able to have many cars will allow my students to engage in many fun learning activities while improving motor skills.
