Physical Play and Pre-Riding Skills- Building the Skills for a Lifetime of Action!

Balance, co-ordination, gross and fine motor skills are all vital for a toddler’s development and form
the basis for fitness and sports of all kinds.

Using a range of fun games, songs and equipment from bean bags to balance bikes, children will have
the chance to develop and practice all these skills and more, challenging themselves in lots of
different ways.

From early riding skills on toddler size balance bikes to learning how to stretch and relax, with simple
exercises and massage, Action Tots will boost body awareness, confidence, fitness and social skills as well
as providing time for parent/carer and child to laugh and play together.

Each 40 minute class includes a number of activities based around 4 skill stations:
• Body - working on co-ordination, strength, and gross motor skills
• Brain - helping to develop focus, concentration and fine motor skills
• Balance - the key skill for all types of movement, especially learning to ride a bike
• Bikes - exploring, handling and gaining the skills and confidence to start to ride our balance bikes

With songs, games, stretches, parachute play and bubbles to ensure lots of fun as well as learning!
