Yet, I trully believe toddlers, preschoolers and young children need a good dose of physical activity e-v-e-r-y-d-a-y, though it can be tough at times when they’re glued to TV watching Peppa Pig, I’ll be honest. BUT FEAR NO MORE! You kids will absolutely love love love these gift ideas I’m about to share with you!

Look on below for some awesome gross motor ideas for your kids. They’ll keep them active, allow them to burn off energy and have fun all at the same time!

1. Little Tikes 3′ Trampoline

This one is my TOP RECOMMENDED gift, thus it comes first. We have one of these 3′ trampolines and love it! Kids spend everyday jumping on it and they just can’t get enough. It’s perfect for burning off energy and getting some movement in and it doesn’t take up too much space!

 

2. Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Tootle Turtle Target Toss Game

This Toss Game looks too fun! I bet my kids would love this, perhaps it’s on my gift shopping list 🙂 It works on upper body strength, as the child has to toss the little bean bag, and it’s super exciting!

 

3. Play Tunnel

Perfect for younger children, this Tunnel is full of excitement! Toddlers will love crawling though a brightly colored tunnel and will do it over and over again. My 2 year old loved one of these tunnels at a birthday party him and I went to and I definately have yet to buy one.

 

 

4. Multiple Activity Gross Motor Set

This set is versatile and can be assembled in various ways to keep bringing on the fun. It’s great for full body Gross Motor skills development and exercise. Stores away easy and doesn’t take up space.

7. Hape Scoot Around Ride On Wood Bike

This small toddler bike is made out of wood and has rubber wheels. It’s super cool for indoors as it won’t scratch the floors and gliiides smoothly on hardwood floors (and quietly!). My little nephew has one and he loves it!

 

8. Milliard Soft Foam Toddler Stairs and Ramp Climber Gym Toy

Kids love to climb and this little gym set it perfect! It’s soft and can be assembled in different ways. Add more sets for more pieces!

Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed rice and a few fun sensory tools 💗  Now, yes, you’ve read that right. I dyed this rice using a little bit of beet water (from boiling beets) and about a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar. Add all into a big ziploc bag, shake and spread out on a sheet pan to dry completely, I like to do this overnight. This recipe is without any dyes, which I try to avoid. Even food dyes contain “lakes” and toxic stuff.  The beet water made a lovely deep pink color, perfect for Valentine’s Day! If you try this recipe out, let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it AND TAG me so I can take a peak!  SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!
