Scooter Paddles are an excellent tool for promoting upper-body strength, coordination, and mobility as children learn new ways to maneuver while on scooter boards. These paddles provide an engaging way for children to practice pushing and pulling their way around, fostering the development of fine motor control and improving muscle strength. Whether using a single paddle or pairing them together, children will enhance their upper-body strength and bilateral coordination while refining their ability to manipulate objects and navigate their environment.

Therapeutic Benefits:

• Upper-body strength and coordination: Paddling on the scooter board engages the arms, shoulders, and core muscles, helping children develop strength and coordination in the upper body.
• Bilateral coordination: Using the paddles in a coordinated manner (pushing and pulling with both hands) promotes bilateral coordination, which is essential for many daily tasks and motor activities.
• Motor planning and control: Navigating with the paddles challenges children to plan and execute movements, supporting motor planning and body awareness.
• Sensory integration: The physical activity of pushing and pulling provides proprioceptive feedback, helping children improve body awareness and muscle control.
• Gross motor skills: By using the paddles to propel themselves, children strengthen their gross motor abilities, such as pushing, pulling, and gliding, which are foundational for overall movement development.

Features:

• Heavy-duty PVC construction: Durable and designed for repetitive use, ensuring the paddles withstand the demands of active play.
• Easy-to-grip foam handles: The foam handles provide a comfortable and secure grip, making it easier for children to hold the paddles while maneuvering.
• Non-marking rubber tips: The rubber tips ensure the paddles glide smoothly and quietly without leaving marks on floors, maintaining a clean environment.
• Size: 27.5cm (L) x 2.5cm (D), providing a manageable size for children to hold and use effectively.
• Sold as a pair: The set includes two paddles (1 x Red and 1 x Yellow), allowing for use with both hands or by two children for cooperative play.

The Scooter Paddles are a versatile addition to therapy settings, physical education programs, or home play areas, supporting the development of essential motor skills while encouraging active, independent movement. Whether used in individual or group activities, these paddles promote upper-body strength, coordination, and motor control in a fun, interactive way.
