Toddlers need to stay active and stimulated. And like grownups, they also need down time. Unstructured time can spark creativity — and provide wonderful opportunities for family bonding. Babble takes a look at the developmental benefits of exercise, discusses how much TV is okay and why, and also offers suggested activities to beat the summer heat, fight cabin fever, or just have a little fun. So get out in the garden or whip up something amazing in the kitchen. And don’t be afraid to get dirty — that’s par for the course and part of the fun; cleaning up can be a fun activity to tackle together, too!

Lately I’ve been thinking about putting our 3.5 year old son in an extracurricular activity. I mean, I know he’s at daycare/preschool all day, but I think he’d also love sport to get out energy and spend time with his friends outside of school. While soccer was a bit of a bust last year (he MORE »

Our daycare/preschool does some really cool things for the kids. Oreo the rabbit for Spring pictures, anyone? Parents bring in treats for birthdays and they do regular “Show and Tell” with a theme. They have weekly yoga class and Spanish class. Today they’re having a “pot luck” for the preschool classes so the parents all MORE »
