- strengthening the upper body and core muscles for other gross motor tasks - strengthening the upper body and core muscles to create a stable base for fine motor skills - developing stability in the bones of the shoulder joint (the ball and socket joints of the shoulders and hips are shallow and unstable at birth but are molded
into stronger, more stable joints through weight - bearing)- visual development to quickly shift focus from near to far - hand - eye - coordination - providing plentiful
early opportunities for motor planning (movement problem - solving)- refining balance - integrating the movement (vestibular), pressure & stretch (proprioceptive), visual and touch (tactile) sensory
systems -
learning to coordinate movements where two sides of the body are doing different movements -
learning to coordinate upper body and lower body movements - developing body awareness and spatial awareness - fostering independence
