Play Builders and Bulldozers!

Similar to a treasure hunt, this variation on the classic game of tag combines healthy exercise, teamwork, and a little friendly trickery.

Help Your Child Get Centered with Yoga
There's no reason that the physical and mental benefits of yoga should be provided to adults only! Teaching your child some simple yoga poses can help him build coordination, flexibility, and endurance.
