Key Learning Skills

Gross Motor Skills: The primary focus of the space hopper is balance, coordination, and strengthening core and leg muscles as children bounce and maneuver on the ball.

Supporting Learning Skills

Emotional Regulation: The repetitive jumping action can be both fun and calming, helping your child release energy and practice self regulation.

Helpful Tip

Encourage your child to bounce forward, backward, or in a zigzag pattern to improve agility and spatial awareness. Make it fun by setting easy goals, like bouncing to a certain spot or avoiding ‘lava’ areas on the floor. Remind them to hold the handles tight and keep their body upright to help with balance and core stability.
