Activities For Non Sleeping Child

Post by Grey » Mon Dec 26, 2016 8:27 pm

Hi there,

I'm unsure of what 3 quiet but physical activities you could provide a child with who does not take naps. I put perhaps doing aerobics or dancing???? or going to join another room for this short period to participate in outdoor activities for instance with the kindy room. I'm sure its a simple answer but I have thought and thought and nothing springs to mind. Any help is appreciated

Does it have to be "physical" or something as simple as a puzzle for example...

For physical, you could do yoga (that's quiet)...

Or you could do something like fine motor skills activities (which are also part of physical) such as playdough, threading etc.

Hi Lorina,

Thankyou for getting back to me, yeah i mean it does stress "physical" but i think yoga is a great one and in regards to the other one you mentioned i didn't know it fell under a physical type of activity but I do now, yes you have helped thanks. I'm sure I will be in touch again soon with another question, it's great to have support like this,
