Puddle Jumping:[/b]
Preferably outdoor play area in what our two-year-old called "chocolate water," put the most protective clothing on your kids and let them climb in, out, or over muddy water.
Tower Building:[/b]
You'll need a supply of bricks, lid bags, or some equivalent stackable material for this operation. Create a tower with children using your chosen piece. Take turns attaching blocks or containers to the tower and see how far the child is able to stack them. You can look at the number of objects piled up, and then when the building is complete, the kid can pull it down.
Obstacle Course:[/b]
Get imaginative and use everything you've got around the house to create an outdoor play area obstacle course. Set up a climb over a large pillow accompanied by a crawl through a wooden frame, a circle around a footstool, and eventually a sprint through a doorway. Connect to the excitement of this toddler game by beginning the race with a whistle blow and taping a plastic ribbon in the doorway to break it through the final corner.
Rough And Tumble Play:[/b]
Rough and tumble play is more commonly conducted by fathers than mothers and can encourage the development of competitive skills without physical violence. Boys typically start to play rough and tumble at two years and, if they are healthy, they should be allowed to continue. If the parents or carers feel dangerous, they should avoid it.
