hopscotch

[PE Tips] Build your body with hopscotch! Develop a sense of rhythm and jumping power!

It’s a game where you draw circles on the ground and hop over them rhythmically.

Many people probably played it when they were kids! For young children, it’s a great exercise for building a healthy body.

You could even compete to see who can move the fastest.

choco banana

[Beloved Treat] Chocolate Bananas from Festival Stalls / Miki Mama

Chocolate-covered bananas that are so fun to look at with their colorful toppings.

You can make them at home even with a small amount of chocolate.

Halve the bananas and stick them on skewers, or cut them into bite-size pieces and stick them on cute picks—perfectly safe even if you have kids around.

Next, melt chopped chocolate bars in a hot-water bath and coat the bananas with the chocolate.

Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle on your favorite sprinkles or silver dragées, and you’re done.

Stick them into a piece of Styrofoam to give it that authentic festival feel!

balance play

A way to play where parents can work out while helping their kids develop a sense of balance [Doting Parent Diary]

Challenging themselves by climbing onto Dad’s or Mom’s body really boosts children’s motivation.

Use invitations like “Can you do this?” or “Shall we give it a try?” to nurture an active, playful spirit and encourage them to be a little brave and try.

Playing together also gives children a sense of security and is great for physical bonding.

It richly develops body balance.

Even if you do it once a week on Sundays, continuing will bring noticeable results!

For the stem, wrap a straw all the way around with green masking tape.

Making several and arranging them into a bouquet would be lovely, too.

It’s a gift of flowers that never wilt.

How about trying newspaper sword-fighting, where you roll up newspapers into swords and duel? Preparation is super easy since you just roll the newspaper into a stick.

It doesn’t hurt when you get hit, and there’s little risk of injury, so you can play to your heart’s content with the kids without worry.
