We have ladders, saw horses of various sizes, ramps, trampolines, tires, mats, and balance beams. All are brightly colored. We use the sawhorses to climb over, walk on, crawl under, make a mountain to climb, etc. Once the children have mastered the concept, place the ladder on two tires, one tire for a ramp, then place it on the sawhorses. Please make sure you have someone spotting this area at all times.
Mats are for tumbling, pencil rolls, etc.
It is great to see the children gain confidence in their motor skills. You may also add cones or chairs for the children to weave in and out while crawling, skipping, walking, jumping, etc. You can make this as difficult or easy as the children you teach. We also play a variety of music during this time. The remaining children pretend to be the mice.
