If you are on the hunt for a gift for a preschooler who cannot seem to sit still, you know that whatever you pick must keep them entertained and moving. Active kids thrive on playtime that lets them burn off energy while having fun. Here are eight gift ideas that are sure to put a smile on their face and keep them busy.
Balance Bike
If your preschooler is not quite ready for a two-wheeler, a balance bike is the perfect start. With no pedals to worry about, they can push along with their feet and learn how to balance naturally. Before you know it, they will be coasting around the driveway with confidence.
Mini Trampoline
Let’s face it—kids love jumping. A mini trampoline with a handlebar is a safe way to let them bounce their little hearts out. It is the perfect solution for rainy days when being outside is not an option. Plus, as a parent, you will appreciate keeping the couch safe from becoming their personal trampoline.
Play Tent
There is something magical about having a space of your own as a kid, and a play tent gives them just that. Whether they are camping out in the backyard or creating a cozy fort in the living room, this tent becomes their secret hideaway.
Scooter
For a preschooler always on the go, a scooter can provide endless fun. They will zoom around the block like it is a race track to get better at balancing with each ride. Just do not forget to throw in some safety gear. Nobody wants a trip to the ER after one too many sharp turns!
Obstacle Course Set
An obstacle course set is like building an adventure in your own backyard. You can mix it up with tunnels, cones, and stepping stones, and watch as your little one works on their jumping, crawling, and balancing skills. It is a fantastic way to challenge them while still letting them play and have fun. You might even want to try out the course yourself. Just do not tell the neighbors!
Pogo Jumper
The pogo jumper is like a mini version of a pogo stick, but safer and way more fun. Made of foam, it is soft, squeaky, and just right for indoor or outdoor play. The finest part is that you will be watching your preschoolers giggle as they bounce all around the yard—or the living room if you are brave enough.
Sports Equipment
If your preschooler is a budding athlete, getting them some sports gear could be a slam dunk. A child-sized soccer ball, basketball hoop, or baseball set will let them practice their skills while having fun. Bonus points if you join in for a little family game time—you might even work up a sweat trying to keep up!
Dance Mat
For the preschooler who loves to wiggle, a dance mat with music is an awesome gift. They can stomp, spin, and dance to the beat, all while improving their coordination and having a blast. It is an easy way to keep them entertained on days when outdoor play is not possible.
Shopping for an active preschooler does not have to be a challenge. Just be prepared to join in on the fun because some of these gifts are way too good to resist!
