Gift ideas fit for a toddler

When you're trying to raise a healthy child, you have to start early. So this Christmas, instead of buying your little one something that keeps them sitting in one spot, why not buy them something interactive that will them moving today and hopefully for life too?

Fitsugar has some great suggestions:

YogaKids 2: ABC by Gaiam will introduce them to the basics of yoga
Hullabaloo gets them spinning, dancing, twisting and more.
The Smart Cycle is like an exercise bike but more fun and for kids.

The best gift my brother and I got as a kid was a little car that we had to peddle ourselves -- we spent so much time on that, both in the house and outside. What fit gifts are your favourites?

It is always challenging to find new ways that will keep toddlers active (in a productive way). I don't know if you've heard about the New York Kid's Clubs located in the Manhattan area. You're suggestions for "active" gifts such as teh Yoga Kids 2 and the Hullabaloo suggest to me that the classes offered at NYKC would really interest you. They are creative, learning based programs that vary from gymnastics, to art and music and even rock climbing (for older kids, of course). The learning centers are awesome, they are modern and extremely safe. I welcome you to contact me with any questions you may have and please check out the website at www.nykidsclub.com! Thanks for your time! Hope to be in touch!
