- The child experienced balance and coordination while sliding down the hill on their belly, engaging their core muscles and developing body control.
- By choosing the path and adjusting their body position, the child enhanced their spatial awareness and problem-solving skills.
- The activity promoted gross motor skills and physical fitness as the child used their body to navigate the slope.
Encourage the child to explore different terrains and angles for sliding activities to further develop their spatial awareness and motor skills. Introduce variations by having them slide on different surfaces such as grass, sand, or snow to enhance their sensory experiences.
