Agility
equipment
Climbing, balancing, gymnastics, mastering monkey
bars, even just sitting quietly and watching,
are all essential elements of psychomotor development
through play. Balancing on a narrow
surface, learning to propel yourself along horizontal
bars or looking down from the dizzying
height of a climbing frame – all these things
take strength and courage. Children need to
be allowed to see how far they can push themselves.
The further they are from the ground,
the greater the mental and physical challenge
and – most important – the more fun they have.
Ground-level play equipment provides the perfect
opportunity for imaginative movement
play for groups of children. These are a fun way
to improve fine motor skills and learn how to cooperate
with other children.
