How to Assist Your Childs Development with Micro Scooters: Micro Play for Life
Our friends at Micro Scooters know a thing or two about children’s scooters and its Play for Life campaign was created to support not only its nursery range of ride-on toys but crucially, to guide parents on how to support healthy physical development based on a child’s readiness to move rather than age.
Based on the concept of Deliberate Play, the idea behind Play for Life is to encourage a child to move through their physical development stages with confidence, to try new physical experiences, enjoy exercise now and to take that confidence and enjoyment into later life.
We’ve picked out our top two favourite games to play with little ones at the early stage 1 and 2, using the 3-in-1 with seat in situ. Check out our full range of Micro Scooter products here.
TOP 2 PLAY FOR LIFE GAMES
GRAB THE TEDDY
Objective: develop balance and coordination
Product: The Micro 3-in-1 Deluxe Push Along
How to play:
- The adult holds a toy/ball/cushion across the other side of the room from where the little one is waiting with their scooter and encourages the little one to scoot across to grab it.
- Provide lots of noise, praise and movement to keep the child’s attention on the objective. The child will be subconsciously honing their movement skills as they scoot to manoeuvre across the room.

GET SET GO
Objective: develop balance and coordination
Product: The Micro 3-in-1 Deluxe Push Along
How to play:
- The adult lays out the helmet in front of the child next to the scooter.
- On the order of ‘Get’, the child picks up the helmet and puts it on.
- On the order of ‘Set’, the child gets onto their scooter.
- On the order of ‘Go!’, the child scoots across the room toward the waiting adult who congratulates them with a big hug!
