Climbing and Crashing

Climbing And "Crashing" Are Children's Favorites!

Little do children know, there are many sensorimotor challenges that are presented in climbing and "crashing":

• Calms the system with active work and strong massage deep pressure input on impact

• Continues to calm by strengthening the muscles that assist with breathing

• Builds upper and lower-body strength

• Facilitates motor-planning skills

• Intense vestibular stop and start input

Of course, the "crashing" is best done into mats, piles of heavy-duty bean bag chairs, air mattresses, air pillows or ball pits with soft walls.

Activities include: large trampolines with safety nets, rolling up and down a hill, ball pits, falling into bean bags or air mattresses, play wrestling, and climbing ladders, rope ladders, and disc swings are all wonderful sensory input and great for motor skills.
