- They improved their balance and coordination while scootering.

To further develop physical education skills related to this activity, encourage the child to try different ways of getting to the playground, such as biking or rollerblading. You can also set up obstacle courses in the backyard or at a nearby park to improve their agility and spatial awareness.
