Today’s feature in the 7 Elements of Play – Climbing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of climbing on the playground:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Climbing increases muscle tone and strength in both fine and gross motor movements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The act of climbing sharpens visual perception and motor skills as they decide where to place a foot or hand to move up or down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Climbing develops the vestibular system, which takes in information and sends it to the brain, which in turn sends out a signal to help with balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Climbing develops motor fitness like agility, speed, coordination, and balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Problem-solving and decision-making skills are also enhanced through climbing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
