It is officially December, which means holiday gift shopping is in full swing! Some of you may already have all of your shopping done, some of you may already have a list of what you need to buy, and some of you may be wondering why I’m even thinking about gifts in the beginning of December! Regardless of what type of shopper you are, it is likely that you have a child in your life that you will be shopping for.
Back in September, we talked about Childhood Obesity and the need to get kids more active. A large part of the increase in Childhood Obesity is due to an increased amount of sedentary time such as video games and TV/movie watching, and unfortunately these are the items that most kids have at the top of their lists! It would be a great idea to go against the grain and give a gift that is both fun and active.
Some classic, active gift ideas include bicycles, skateboards, scooters, and roller skates. Hula hoops, jump ropes, and Frisbees are other great ideas.
In addition to those classic gifts, there are lots of other fun games and toys that can even be purchased online. Click on the name from the lists below for a link directly to the product.
