• They have also developed gross motor skills through the jumping and landing movements.
• The activity helps improve cardiovascular fitness as it requires continuous movement.

For continued development, encourage the child to try different jumping techniques such as tuck jumps, star jumps, or one-legged jumps. This can help them explore different movements and challenge their coordination further. Additionally, you can create fun obstacle courses around the trampoline to incorporate jumping and other physical activities, promoting agility and problem-solving skills.
