Brrrr! It's too cold to play outside. Heavy work ideas for the indoors!

Are your kids are going stir crazy indoors?  With such frigid temperatures outside it hard to get your child to burn off all that extra energy.  If your child enjoys crashing, jumping, and banging around, here are some good heavy work ideas for in home play!

Jumping on trampoline
Playing catch with a heavy ball
Tug of war with bed sheets
Animal walk relays
Play wrestling
Crashing into pillows or cushions
Sock Tunnels
Push a laundry basket full of toys around "track"

Get creative, and make it fun! Try an obstacle course with a puzzle so there is a clear expectation of when the activity will end!

Please comment below with ideas that have worked for you!
