Preschool Fitness

A healthy and fit lifestyle begins early in life. It’s important to keep preschoolers active each day, as well as instill fitness habits that will last a lifetime. Preschoolers are naturally active, so encouraging exercise is mainly about providing opportunities for preschoolers to jump, run, climb, hop and dance. Preschool Fitness offers kid-friendly activities and creative ideas to keep kids moving. Visit Preschool Fitness on PreschoolRock.com often for great preschool fitness ideas.

Polka Dot Glow Gertie Ball
Gertie Balls claim to be the "most catchable ball in the world". The material and texture on the outside of Gertie Balls provides a easy grip surface. Gertie balls are packaged uninflated and come with a straw so adults can blow up the Gertie Ball to full size or leave the ball slightly underinflated to allow little hands a "squishable" grib.

Children as young as two-years-old will enjoy rolling balls on the floor, to a partner or down a homemade ramp made of a cookie sheet or couch pillows. Older preschoolers use balls for throwing activities, circle passing games and kicking skills.

Balls make great "back to basics" presents for preschoolers.
