Playtime

Sometimes it’s all about the simplest things. Whenever we’re struggling, it’s great to go back to basics. So in an effort to keep it super simple, here are some easy ideas that kids love. Most of all, they will appreciate spending a little time together 💙

Make a line on the floor with coloured tape, string, or use the lines in the sidewalk. Ask your child to walk the line with one foot in front of the other and then walk the line in different ways—hopping, skipping, or walking on tiptoe. How fast and slow can they go and still stay on the line? Take turns!

It takes focus and self-control for your child to walk on the line. When you challenge them to move in different ways, they must work even harder to control their body and think flexibly to adjust to these new ways of moving.
