1 Weight Bearing in Crab Activity for Kids & Toddlers | Gross Motor Skills | Physical Play | EYFS

Описание: ​Weight Bearing in a Crab Position: Building the Foundation for Upper Body Stability!

​Hello Parents! Today we are focusing on a powerhouse posture: Weight Bearing in a Crab Position!

While you might have seen us do "Crab Kicks" in our kicking series, today is all about the Stability and Developmental Foundation of the pose itself.

Holding this position requires immense shoulder stability, tricep strength, and core engagement to keep the hips lifted. It’s an essential exercise for opening up the chest and building the posterior chain strength that supports healthy posture and coordination!

Visible transformation! 🌊 Since starting our routine in early 2025, her gross motor skills have flourished. Now, we shift our focus to precision. 🎯 We’re revisiting the unmastered activities to ensure she fully captures the complex movements designed for ages 4, 5, and 6. Consistency is our greatest tool. ✨

​Watch my toddler working on her static strength and steady balance in this challenging "Crab" pose! 👆🏻
