Get Moving!

Babies across the nation, I urge you to get up and get movin’! Thanks to things like shaped diapers, we can be comfy and dry while we explore the world. Here’s a list of 101 fun activities, tips, and suggestions for active babies.

Here are a few of our faves:

1. Appreciate the important role of movement in young children’s development.
2. Recognize children’s differing movement capabilities and promote learning experiences that challenge each child to move to the next level of individual development.
3. Provide daily physical activities for infants that enable them to explore movement and the environment.
4. Each day, plan for at least 30 minutes of structured physical activity and from 60 minutes to several hours of unstructured physical activity for toddlers.
