For kids playing alone, a jump rope is a great toy to get active. Challenge your child to learn some of the basic jumping skills, such as:

• Scissor jumps: Land with one foot forward, then on the next jump switch feet.
• Cross jumps: Land with feet crossed like an X, then apart, then crossed again.
• Duckie: Land with heels apart, toes and knees pointed in; then on next jump, put heels together and toes and knees pointed out.
• Swing: Land on one foot and swing the opposite leg out to the side, then switch on next jump.
