Gross Motor Development 2-3 years

Enjoy the great outdoors by letting your toddler walk, climb, run, jump, slide, swing, and play ball. Physical activity helps to develop gross motor skills, self-control, and independence.

• Play Follow the Leader with your little one. Hop, stand on one foot, or tip toe around your yard. Be silly and have fun!
• It’s time for soccer! A large box will become your goal. Take turns kicking the ball into the goal.
• A perfect way to spend the day is swinging, sliding, balancing on a low beam, climbing out of a sand pit, and playing on other playground equipment.

These games and activities will help your child’s muscles grow strong!
