Activities for 1-2 year olds

[playfelt]

One of my issues with taking infants and toddlers for a walk is that yes they need fresh air but they spend so much time in bed, in highchairs, in other devices it just seems like they get very little exercise themselves. Love when the snow is gone and they can just be down on the ground and actually crawl or walk.

I feel the same way. Winter is hard for the children who can't yet walk because there is no excercise involved in outdoor time and I find they are frustrated at not being able to play. However, with some rain pants the can crawl around quite a bit now that it is spring. It's really that awkward age before about 18 month (or younger depending on the child) when it's hard for them to play in the snow. I had a 15 month old who did very well with outside play in winter. Just depends on the child.
