Hey parents! Are you trying to find new ways to keep your child active and engaged during these long summer days? School may not be in session but summer afternoon walks are the perfect time for learning!

When it comes to our littlest learners, getting up and moving throughout the day is great for their development. Outside activities build strong and healthy muscles, improve coordination and develop their balance and flexibility. For pre-k and toddler age children, afternoon walks are a great opportunity to build on academic skills and get them school ready!

Try out these six great tips from Ms. Rachel Giannini to keep your active child engaged and turn your trek around the neighborhood into an educational adventure.

Have any fun tips and tricks that you already do with your kids? At No Small Matter, we want to build a community of parents, teachers and advocates that support of early learning. Comment below with your favorite walking activities so we can share them with others!
