But our goal is to give you ideas to help keep your kids active and healthy over these winter months. And hey, you may find yourselves joining in the fun!
Here are some ideas that might help to spark active indoor play:
1) A Little Tykes Hoop for your basement or playroom
2) Remember the game of Twister? Strrrrrrretch
3) Balance boards or create your own obstacle course
5) Ping-pong– if you can’t purchase the real thing, there are kits that transform your dining room or kitchen table into ping-pong tables
6) Plastic sports equipment like a wiffle bat and ball or putter and golf ball
7) Just Dance video game or other video games that involve movement
8) Tickets to sporting events, including women’s pro or collegiate games. These family outings are fun, inspirational and a great way to spend time together.
