The 411 by Maria:
We love this book! My kids and I are having a great time doing the exercises. They LOVE exercise, yoga and all things that they deem fun, easy and makes mommy happy. While they never do Yoga together, they love doing the easy exercises they found in here. While I read to them, they practiced the poses. They especially liked the partner exercises, circuit drawings and music drawings. In fact, I think music drawings are something I could really get into. You simply "feel the music" and allow your body to express itself on paper. I used a pencil and the kids used crayons. It took them a minute to understand that you don't have to draw ballerinas or musical notes. Just flow.... I loved it!
Each exercise has a picture and a simple, easy to follow breakdown. I would love my school to get more involved in something like this.
While my son loves his daily exercise with Wii, I love that he is unplugged as he goes through this book

Goddess doing, Infinity Drawing
Between studying, going to after school practice and finding time to be a kid, children have more on their plates than ever before. Drawing has a number of valuable benefits including helping to increase hand-eye coordination, but this exercise can also be used as a calming meditation to help children focus more clearly on all they have to do on a daily basis.
1. Illustrate to the child what a “lazy eight” infinity symbol looks like.
2. Draw the infinity symbol with a crayon. Preferably, use large paper so the child’s whole arm can move, not just the wrist. Keep tracing the symbol for several minutes until the movement is smooth and balanced.
3. Now, switch hands and keep tracing. Though tricky, this helps activate the other side of the brain while helping kids become more ambidextrous. Continue until the movement is smooth and relaxed. Optionally, try drawing the infinity with eyes closed.
As you can see, they LOVE it.
Moms always want the best for their kids and I am not an exemption of it. These kind of learning games is just the perfect thing for my child.
