Gross Motor Preschool Toddlers

Wheelbarrow Walk Puzzle Fun Gross Motor Activity

We learned about this Wheelbarrow Walk Puzzle Fun Gross Motor Activity from our time working with an occupational therapist. It’s a great activity for working on coordination and arm strength. It’s also a fun activity for burning energy indoors, but will also work outside! I love it because you can make it into a little race and it works fine motor skills as well!

Wheelbarrow Walk Puzzle Fun

To do this activity you just need a little space and a simple puzzle! Set up the space with the puzzle pieces at one end and the puzzle board at the other end! A distance of about eight feet should be enough. Then pick up your child’s legs at the hips or ankles and have them wheelbarrow walk back and forth between the puzzle pieces and the puzzle board.
