Your child learns skills by running, jumping, throwing, and climbing. She learns how her body works and moves.

Active play will help your child:

  • build strong muscles and endurance
  • improve her coordination; at this age she may still be “clumsy”
  • build up endurance in her cardio and respiratory systems
  • sharpen her large and fine motor skills
  • learn teamwork and cooperation
  • release stress
