How toddlers benefit from play slides

Children's senses can benefit from sliding, but not the conventional five senses. Beyond our basic senses, we also have vestibular and proprioceptive systems. We can determine our bodies' position and location in space thanks to proprioception*.

Vestibular systems assist in obtaining information about the direction and speed of our bodies' movements. As they slide, kids use proprioception to gain a better understanding of their position and surroundings. 32

Kids who slide quickly down a slide and stop at the bottom help the vestibular system grow. Sliding can help a child's balance as well as the process of that information through their vestibular systems.
