As winter settles around us, it’s important to make a special effort to stay active outdoors, even in chilly weather. At the same time, we know there will be occasions when the weather is simply too extreme to be outside. The indoor winter activities below provide easy solutions for kids to stay active and have fun even on the coldest days.
1. Make an indoor obstacle course
Help your child or children to set up an obstacle course indoors. Arrange your furniture so there are things to crawl under, climb over, walk along, hop along, etc.
Here are some ideas:
- Crawl under the coffee table
- Climb over the sofa
- Hop down the hallway like a kangaroo (with two feet)
- Crawl like a bear or crab walk
- Tightrope-walk along a long rope, string, or piece of tape stretched along the floor.
After a few passes through the course, encourage your children to stretch their imaginations and rearrange the obstacles.
