Importance of Physical Activity For Growth

Are you allowing your child to be in front of a screen too much? Learning from technology is good, but moderation is key. Here are some activities that are helpful to your child’s development.
Plant a Seed

If your child already loves digging, have them help with the garden. Teach your child to water the plants every day and to remove the pests from it too. Your child will learn how a plant grows as they take care of it day by day.

 

 Zoo Visits

Going to the zoo with your child is a learning experience for them and will spark their curiosity. Seeing a lion or a giraffe for the first time will make an impression on your child, and will have them talking about it for days.

 Toy Wash

Perfect indoor (or outdoor) activity for your child. Get one tub with soap and another one without. Not only is it a fun activity for your child, it combats bacteria that are lurking on the toys.

Go for a Picnic

Set a picnic date and prepare simple food like sandwiches, crisps, biscuits, and drinks that both your child and you would enjoy. It’s an eye-opening experience for your child to explore the world outside.

Little Kitchen Helper

Allow your child to help you in the kitchen when you prepare a meal. Teach your child to wash vegetables or let him or her beat an egg. It’s a great opportunity for your child to play at being a sous-chef.

 Treasure Hunt

Make a list of items to hide around the house. Give your child clues (written or drawn) for them to find.
