Find a spot outside to watch for animals like insects, birds, or squirrels, then act out their movements with your child—float like a butterfly, jump like a frog, or climb like a squirrel.
Materials
No materials area needed for this activity, just your imagination! If you are looking for inspiration, animal yoga poses like these from Washington State University, are great!
