My Project

My prekindergarten students LOVE playing outdoors. They love to run around, bounce balls, play in a sandbox, blow bubbles, and ride bikes and tricycles. What they don't have is the opportunity to work together to balance and to operate machines, like seesaws and excavators.

Children develop fine motor skills by grasping handles as well as balance and coordination and improve their dexterity and motor skills while operating these apparatuses.

Rocking motion is important to help stimulate a child's sense of balance and the operating machine enhances their hand-eye coordination, important for overall development. The requested Teetar Seesaws and Big Sandbox Digger Excavator Cranes will help my students develop these fine motor skills while having fun outside playing with their classmates.
