Fiona McAuslan is a busy working mum with. She used KidzMove.com to get ideas and inspiration to keep her 20 month old son active during the Christmas holidays:

“We limit Marlowe’s television viewing to half an hour wind down time before bed which works well in theory but means that that during the day there are always plenty of hours that need filling up with activities! He’s a very active little toddler, constantly on the move and always ready to jump, clamber and climb on every available surface and I wanted to make sure that he had as much to do inside during cold spells as outside – without wrecking the furniture.

“KidzMove.com has been a brilliant source of games and activities that we can play together that keep him active and moving – and definitely entertained.”

KidzMove.Com is brought to you by two of the biggest names in children’s health: LazyTown and FitPro.
