Happy Holidays! The season for giving is upon us and with so many types of toys out there, it can be overwhelming to think of presents for your littles. We’ve created a gift guide to keep your kiddos on the move and developing through the holiday season! These gifts encompass a myriad of skills that will help keep your little ones moving and grooving!
- The Nugget—Turn it into a couch, turn it into a fort! This option offers endless opportunities for gross motor development and imagination.
- Sit and Spin—Promotes postural control to sit up-right and coordination to spin! A great option for your little who loves spinning.
- Bowling Set—A great option to work on throwing skills! If your little doesn’t like ball play, try pulling back to work on single-leg balance.
- Giant Building Blocks—Great to work on balance while picking up and stacking into a tower, and super fun to knock down! Option to incorporate single leg balance to kick down the tower, or ball play to knock it down!
- Hippity Hop Ball—Promotes core engagement and is perfect for your little who loves to bounce.
