Skipping is a fun activity for children all year round and is generally best started from age four and upwards. It is commonly taught as part of the physical education curriculum at most schools so you will be giving your child a head start. The reason skipping is such a great play activity is because it targets the developmental skills your child needs to set themselves up for success at school.
Skipping is good for building co-ordination, fine motor skills, manual dexterity, counting and rhythm. Not only that its a great way to keep fit and improve jumping skills, strength and physical endurance.
Encourage your child to embrace skipping as a great play activity alone or with friends and watch them reap the developmental and health benefits that come as a by-product.
