What you need

A clear, level outdoor space.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Imagine a row of stepping places along the ground.
  2. Take slow steps from one imagined place to the next.
  3. Turn around and choose a new pattern, such as two small steps and one larger step.

Adult checks the ground and stays beside the child; choose steps that are comfortable and skip jumping if unsuitable.
