There are 7 activities that you may already be using and which are among the best for developing your child's motor skills.:
1. Dancing
It doesn't matter what type of dancing you do with your child. All forms are excellent for teaching large motor skills. Most children love dancing. It develops spatial sense and helps a
child feel more comfortable when touching other people.
2. Exercise
If you follow an exercise routine for your own well-being, encourage your child to join you in performing simple exercises. Be careful to avoid any exercises that could be considered in-appropriate or dangerous for your child. However
immature the performance is at first, he or she will improve.
3. Walking or hiking
Give your child opportunities to walk long distances ( a mile or two ). You can walk around your neighborhood, the inside of
shopping malls, or walking trails in public parks.This gives you a great opportunity to talk with your child about what he or she sees on the walk.
4. Bean bags and balls
Bean bags and balls offer some of the best motor skill building activities, such as playing catch, tossing bean bags at a target, as well as variety of other games.
5. Playing cards
Show your child how to build a house of cards with many rooms spread out over the floor or a tower rising 2 or 3 stories high. This is excellent for developing small motor control.
6. Lines and squares
When walking on a sidewalk challenge your child to try walking without stepping on the lines. Remind him or her to stay inside the squares. Make a game of it.
7. Going to the park
All that playground equipment provides more than fun to a child. The climbing apparatus, teeter totters, swings, tunnels
and merry-go-rounds give your child the best type of large motor skill exercise possible! If your child fearful about using
the equipment, don't force or ridicule, but don't give up either. Go to the park often and encourage your child to touch the
equipment. When your child acquires a tactile and spatial sense of these awesome objects, he or she will be encouraged to take the first steps towards using them. Be encouraging.
