Why we know this works!
We love these scooter boards because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we can often predict how a child will manage at a school desk by watching their core strength on the floor. What is a scooter board actually for? Sitting on it, or lying on the belly, and propelling with your own arms, which loads the shoulders and core while the rolling motion feeds the balance system, a combination that helps wiggly kids organize and focus. This set of 2 has easy-grip handles and holds up to 180 pounds, so a sibling or parent can join the races.
They are especially useful for children with low core strength, ADHD, coordination difficulties, or strong movement-seeking. Never let a child stand on one like a skateboard, and if standing balance is the skill you want to build, use the Balance Beam Wooden Stepping Stones instead.
