Toddler Gross Motor

These days you hear a lot about fine motor activities, but rarely do you ever hear about gross motor activities. Gross motor activities are just as important, but often get overlooked. My infant recently was identified for Early Intervention for gross motor development. This has sent me searching for ideas to develop gross motor skills with both him and my toddler daughter. This led me to create several ideas including line walking/balancing games, evasion practice, jumping activities, and even creating an obstacle course for my toddler. You can learn more about what I've been doing with my kids on my blog at thesimplifiedparent.com. What gross motor activities do you use with your infant and/or toddler?
