Outdoor play

Play and do - outdoor playPlaying outside in the fresh air can be fun and it also teaches your child about their environment.
 

Looking

Play the animal game and ask them to point out cats, dogs and birds.  See if they can spot a red car or blue car.
 

Ball games

A simple game of catch and throw or football will help with their balance and co-ordination.
 

Skipping and hopping

Count how long they can skip for or how many times they can hop on one foot. These activities are a great way for them to concentrate on balance and co-ordination.

Take your child to the local park to feed the ducks
 

Sandpits

Your child will enjoy the texture of sand and making different shapes when wet.
 

Flying kites

Teach them about how the wind blows by flying a kite.
 

Cycling

Teach them to ride a bike or let them loose on their four wheeled toy if they are still young.
