Kids Active Play! - ages 3 & 4
Thursdays, July 11 - August 1 / 3:45pm - 4:30pm
Calling all Kids ages 3 & 4! Action packed fun!
 Kids Active Play! offers 40 minutes of organized active play that will get young children moving with silly songs, action games, and plenty of fun.
Physical activity is vital for a child's development and lays the foundation for a healthy and active life. When it comes to kids, the best form of physical activity is play! Play is the natural mode for children to learn and move. Turn on fun music and children move naturally.
Between the ages of three and four years children are learning to use the large muscles in their legs, arms, and trunk to run, jump, skip, throw, and hop. It's also an important time to kick in the cardio activity.
Most of the first 12 months of life a child spends learning to move against gravity (being able to move their body from an upright position like sitting or standing. They then learn to balance on two feet, becoming more adept at moving quickly and coordinating eyes, hands, and feet.
Kids Active Play! maximizes a child's natural energy, curiosity, and creativity.
During each class children will be lead through a series of active & creative play activities and games that encourage their bodies to move. Silly songs and action words such as hop, jump, slide, crawl, bounce, squiggle, wiggle, wave, waddle, balance, twist, and many more are incorporated into each class.
Keep Preschoolers active!
Classes meet one time per week for 4 weeks.
