How to encourage physical activity

[5 Little Monkeys]

I have 2 & 3 year olds. The boys tend to get more physical activity than the girls. The idea of hiding toys for the children to find is a good idea that I'll be trying.

Just make sure you count how many toys you hid so you know when they are all found!! I agree with you, typically my boy gets more physical activity as the girls just like to play in the play houses or swing on the tire swing. My 2 18 month olds actually run around the most.....but I think just because their attention span is smaller so they always run from toy to toy and area to area haha. In the winter we go for walks more but I put the 18 month olds in the stroller and the 2 year olds walk.
