Developing gross motor skills is essential in the early years as it helps preschoolers gain strength, balance, coordination, and body awareness. At Wings and Waves Preschool, we integrate movement-based activities into daily routines—and you can too! Here are fun and simple games that parents can try at home to support physical development.
Let your child crawl like a bear, hop like a frog, or waddle like a duck. These playful movements improve coordination and build core strength.
Use a balloon and a string tied between two chairs to create a mini volleyball net. This safe and energetic game boosts hand-eye coordination and reaction time.
Set up pillows, chairs, and soft objects to create an obstacle course. Crawling under, jumping over, and weaving through helps build balance and spatial awareness.
Turn up the music and let your child dance freely or follow simple moves. It’s great cardio, and it enhances rhythm and whole-body movement.
Use a soft ball or bean bag for simple throwing and catching games. These activities refine arm movements and coordination.
Gross motor activities aren’t just beneficial—they’re fun! By trying these simple games at home, you’ll help your child grow stronger, more confident, and ready for the physical challenges of school and life. At Wings and Waves Preschool, we believe movement is key to learning.
