They form the foundation of gross motor coordination and involve large muscle movement. Locomotor skills would be ones used to move the body from one place to another: i.e., running, skipping, and galloping. They form the foundation of gross motor coordination and involve large muscle movement. Nonlocomotor skill can be defined as bending and stretching, pushing and pulling, and raising and lowering. Manipulative skills come into play when a child handles some kind of object. Most of these skills involve the hands and feet, which leads to better hand-eye and foot-eye coordination. Manipulative skills are the bases for many game skills. The attitude and behavior of your son or daughter will be reflected in their effort portion of the report card.
