Play on Pedals is a training programme that supports and develops the cycling skills of nursery age children.
Through a series of fun and imaginative activities, children develop their balance and control skills, through balance and pedal bikes.
Children are also taught about the different parts of a bike, how to fit a helmet correctly, and the basics of looking after a bike.
Aimed at pre-school children, Play on Pedals has strong links to the Curriculum for Excellence covering different areas within early level such as Health and Wellbeing, Literacy, Maths, Technology and Science.
Play on Pedals can contribute a child’s:
- Motor skills, balance, co-ordination, strength, and control
- Focus, concentration, listening and perseverance
- Responsibility, ownership, and awareness of safety
- Confidence, self-esteem, and sense of achievement
