My son also love to do all this.\u00a0So got an idea similar to this while browsing on the internet. So I wanted to give a try and see whether My son \u00a0likes it.or not. I implemented it soon as my son (exactly at 3 years ) came back from school.<\/p>\n<p>He thought he should \u00a0stand on each feet when I say stand on this colour or that colour (we used to play such colour games earlier as well when he was in the stage of learning colours ). Then I showed him how to jump. He got excited and started jumping. He also asked his friends to jump with him. All of them had fun for almost 40-45 minutes which was a boon for me. This is a perfect way to engage children. We follow no screen time usually ..but now a days it\u2019s like an hour of screen time in a day. But I don&#8217;t want to increase it. So made this jumping activity which kept him happy and busy.<\/p>\n<p>Aim: The main aim behind the activity is to engage kids. This is also a good Gross motor skills activity (<b>Gross motor<\/b>\u00a0(physical)\u00a0skills\u00a0are those which require whole body movement and which involve the\u00a0large\u00a0(core stabilising) muscles of the body to perform everyday functions, such as standing, walking, running, and sitting upright.)<\/p>\n<p>Material required:\u00a0 (what I used to give a try )<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cotton cloth (instead u can use Felt long piece )(I used 6+ feet long cloth)<\/li>\n<li>Felt in different colours<\/li>\n<li>Hot glue gun (Stanley I recommend)<\/li>\n<li>Hot glue sticks<\/li>\n<li>Basic things like scissors,paper,pencil<\/li>\n<li>A small paper clip*(optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How to execute :<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Initially take a paper n draw a feet of the size u required(lip bigger than u r big feet)<\/li>\n<li>After drawing cut the feet from the paper, and place the feet on desired Felt colour u choose and take the paper clip n attach this paper feet to the Felt ..just to make it not to move while cutting or else u can staple this paper made feet to Felt n cut it .,later remove the pins..(don\u2019t forget to throw pins safely *baby *)<\/li>\n<li>Then you have a pair of feet ready now ,so by using this u can cut as many feet\u2019s as you wish from different choice of colours of Felt ..(if u use different colours u can use the mat for identifying colours activity for younger babies\/kids)<\/li>\n<li>Now all sets of feet are ready now<\/li>\n<li>Just arrange all them on a cotton cloth in the way u want u r kid to jump ..different direction ..feet apart ..feet together, feet to right ,left .,as u wish .<\/li>\n<li>Then switch on the hot glue gun ..let it get heated ..then start pasting feet at the place you need and direction u need.<\/li>\n<li>You are done with your jumping path\/mat<\/li>\n<li>Just show your kid how to use it. So that they will explore it and find new ways to use it .<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Fun moments : when my neighbor&#8217;s 2 kids also joined my son in doing this jumping activity. Then the actual fun started ..they jumped over it and enjoyed. It felt like heaven to me.<\/p>\n<p>About mom :\u00a0 Myself Sravya, I am a\u00a0 BTech graduate..now.
