Development in the Early Years with Toy Cars

May 5, 2023

At Tiny Hoppers infant program, the educators have provided roads for the squirts to drive in. This helps promote the development of gross and fine motor skills in young children during play. Children are using physical movements with their arms while reaching, pulling, pushing, bending, and hand-eye coordination. Driving toy cars helps children strengthen their muscles and exercise by manipulating the speed of the objects. During this time, children are interacting socially with their peers and involve aspects of emotional development at an early age.
