Animal Tape Rescue from a Vertical Surface
Tape Rescue from a Vertical Surface
Most of the activities, especially for younger children who do not walk yet, are done on a horizontal surface, where toys, tools, and other manipulatives remain static in one position. However, working on a vertical surface, whether it is a chalkboard, wall, cabinet, window, or easel, in this anti-gravity position activates completely different muscles and makes an activity more challenging.
Why Is Working on a Vertical Surface Beneficial
✔️ Working on a vertical surface helps improve dexterity and motor control since the use of larger vertical surfaces refines shoulder and elbow stability.
⠀
✔️ Furthermore, working on a vertical surface allows children to refine gross motor control as they use larger arm movements. Such a wider range delivers strength and flexibility to joints and muscles of the upper extremities, such as arms and shoulders.
⠀
✔️ Moreover, working on a vertical surface promotes fine motor, visual, and gross motor skills.
⠀
✔️ Lastly, working on a vertical surface targets sensory integration since a child explores and develops proprioceptive, tactile, and visual processing skills.
