The Scooter Board is a versatile tool designed to promote active play and motor development. Ideal for use on hard surfaces, children can kneel or sit on the board, engaging in a wide range of activities that challenge balance, coordination, strength, and mobility. The scooter board supports the development of bi-lateral coordination by encouraging the use of both sides of the body in tandem, while enhancing core strength and spatial awareness. It is a fun and functional way to help children improve their motor skills through dynamic movement.
