Obstacle course set for toddlers and kids

Obstacle course set for toddlers and children at school and at home

The different elements of this motor skill set allow you to set up an obstacle course and to work on different motor skills like jumping, crawling, balancing, stepping and tossing. Children will have fun while developing and refining their gross motor skills. Use the hoops, cones and sticks to set up a challenging steeple course. This gross motor obstacle course set makes physical education fun!

An obstacle course is a wonderful way to engage toddlers and (pre)school children in movement. Together with the kids you can build a specific path that the children must follow in a set order. Or you emphasise the objects that need to be “conquered”. The materials in this great set are all very durable and consequently the obstacle course can be used at (pre)school or at home both indoor and outdoor.

Ideal at primary schools and preschool institutions (kindergarten, childcare, daycare, gym, playground)

Beyond having fun, this obstacle course set for preschool use and as well as school aged child development offers many skill-building advantages. Below we have listed some of the benefits:

1. Gross Motor development: activities when children use the large muscles in their arms, legs and torso (skills such as running, throwing, jumping, crawling, walking, pushing, pulling and lifting). These are all great exercises for sport and gym lesson plans.
2. Coordination: gaining control over movements is an important skill that may be practised by (pre)school kids through an obstacle course. For instance indoor in the gym or outdoor on a playground.
3. Strength: both strength and endurance are required.
4. Planning: since this obstacle course set offers many options, children need to plan ahead about their decision-making.
5. Creativity: designing the obstacle course requires a lot of creativity (this involves for instance drawing, writing, communicating and using imagination).
6. Following Instructions: you will need to give directions to the kids how to proceed through the course so it will be soon a real children's game.
