Fun Walks

Fun walks

Fun walks can be done in different ways. For example, you can start with the Tin Woodman from the fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz." (If your child does not yet know this fairy tale, read it some day on a rainy day or when your child is unwell - he will love the stories about the funny inhabitants of a fairy-tale land). When you go for a walk, show your child how the Tin Woodman walks with rusty limbs, let the child also try to walk like that. You will have a reason to talk about what joints are.

On your next walk, try moving like a rag doll. What else can you think of? Perhaps you would like to march like soldiers, or walk on your toes like a ballerina, or take giant strides, or walk backwards?

Such walks can be funny and amusing, and at the same time they give the baby some knowledge, and in addition, strengthen his muscles.
