Is jumping allowed in your house? We love to jump and jumping activities are a sure fire way to wear out my kids when they need it (err, when I need it…).
These are 10 quick and easy to do activities that get the kids jumping around! Its a fantastic gross motor skill that kids need to learn too!
And if jumping isn’t allowed in your house… sometime rules need to be broken in order to just let kids be kids.
My kids learned to jump anywhere from 18 months to 3 years old. I think my youngest learned quicker than the other older two since he had quite a bit of daily motivation.
Do you expect your child to sit still and be quiet and you’re not sure why its important to get the kids moving? You need to watch this video. Go on, watch it and come back to find our ten jumping activities to get kids moving.
