Grouping six to nine stepping rounds together gives children the opportunity to practice motor planning, balance and control while receiving vestibular and proprioceptive input. The stumps come in a variety of sizes providing challenges according to the height and diameter of stumps installed. Generally, the narrower and higher the stump, the greater the challenge becomes. There is a social element to this simple activity that allows children to play parallel to one another or cooperatively together by engaging in more elaborate games.
