Christmas Movement Cards

It’s so easy to spend so much of the Christmas season curled up indoors. I mean, why wouldn’t you?! With Christmas movies to watch, soft blankets to snuggle under and yummy treats to nibble on, there no real reason to venture into the cold, dark December weather.

But this extra time inside can mean that you find yourself with some rather hyper active, super excitable children!

Now, I’m sure I don’t need to harp on about the benefits of regular movement for children, we’re told it constantly right? It helps mood, sleep not to mention the opportunities it provides to work on building strength and activity tolerance as well as coordination. Let’s be honest…it sometimes feels like movement, or exercise, is a one stop fix-all!

Use them for an afternoon game of “Simon Says…” or what about as a way to find different Christmas treats hidden around the house as a sort of scavenger hunt?! And if that weather does clear up for a minute then take them with you on your winter walk too? What could be Christmassy than a December stroll with your little one galloping like a reindeer?!

Hope you like our Christmas Movement Cards for little ones. Share in the comments below if you use them, we’d love to hear! And let us know what other movement activities you use with you children.
