You'll need a hoop. This helps reinforce the concepts of "inside" and "outside".

How it works

1. 1~30s

   Alright, let's get started! The purpose of this activity is to reinforce the concepts of inside and outside. Therefore we'll be exercising the cognitive developmental area, more specifically the concepts of shape, space and measure. To complete this activity you will need a hoop. you, watch your child closely — I'd love to hear what you notice about how they responds.

   Watch for: Little One know the difference between 'inside' and 'outside.'.

2. 2~30s

   Great, now let's try the next part. Begin this activity by placing a hoop on the floor and asking your son or daughter to place him or herself in the center of it. Now explain that he or she is inside the hoop. Then invite him or her to step out of the hoop and explain that he or she is now outside the hoop. Tell me what your child does — any reaction counts!

   Watch for: Little One complete tasks with two steps, like 'Find your toy, bring it here.'.

3. 3~30s

   One more thing to try. Once your child has understood the concept of inside and outside, play with him or her indicating where he or she should be standing when you mention the word inside or outside. During this exercise observe if your toddler follows instructions while playing and distinguishes between outside and inside. Use Kinetu to stimulate growth in your child every day. How does your child handle this? What do you see?

   Watch for: Little One thi helps reinforce the concepts of "inside" and "outside".
