Get moving play ideas?……..

Play activities includes movement. So activities here are not just crafty but get those big muscles going. We all know kids have boundless energy and we wish we could bottle just a bit of it There are lots of fun easy activities that help expend some of that energy and encourage the children to master new skills.
