Evaluation comments:
“This is a fantastic activity. I love the silly, creative, fun, kid-friendly movement ideas. Sometimes it’s tough to get kids excited about exercise. I also find it difficult to keep coming up with engaging and unique ideas out of the blue. A deck of activity ideas is a great way to let the child guide the play and also help parents stay creative. The cards are cute and colorfully illustrated.”
“The content of the activities are age-appropriate and engaging. They set it up for either guided play with easy instructions or free play by just picking cards at random. The illustrations are adorable and demonstrate the movements clearly and easily. Overall this is a great quality product.”
“We are having a great time with this activity! It couldn’t have come at a better time with all these rainy days back to back. I run out of ideas so quickly when we’re stuck inside. I try to stay off the phone and limit screen time but it’s hard to get creative after a certain point in the day. These movement cards are great because they’re fun, engaging, gets kids moving and excited about exercise. The cards have cute illustrations on them showing the movement. They are easy for children mimic. The back has a blurb to read to your child along with simple instructions.”
“The deck includes an instruction booklet that guides you through the cards and gives parents ideas on how to use them. It also explains why breathing, stretching, and movement is so important for young minds and bodies. It’s very informative!”
“The pictures are so adorable and well-illustrated. I love that they are inclusive and picture all different kinds of kids including those using prosthetics or in wheel chairs. It not only shows that these movements can be modified and done by anyone but has also started some quality conversations. It’s clear the creators of this product put a lot of thought and research into this game to make it a productive, fun, inclusive activity.”
“I like that a pediatric DPT created these cards. The movements are evidence-based and practiced in therapy to help them rehabilitate into their new normal. And in any pediatric specialty, it is important to integrate child development psychology into practice, which is what these cards did. It used imaginative role play to make children do purposeful movements to meet goals.”
“I love that it’s a fun activity that involves movement, breathing, stretching and being goofy.”
“This is a great screen-free activity.”
