MONKEY BARS WILL HELP YOUR CHILD LEARN TO WRITE!

Gross & fine motor skills are important for child development.

Hanging and swinging build strength in the upper body & core muscles.

Dangling and twisting help develop the flexibility and agility for rotating arms, wrist and fingers.

Overall, the monkey bars can strengthen the hand muscles which are needed to hold a writing utensil. We work with the children on proper grasp, hanging and reaching as they are learning to maneuver on the monkey bars.

And the kids LOVE doing Monkey Bars!
