My kids have discovered a fun way to get exercise inside the house. Pillow fights! By this I don’t refer to lazily swinging a pillow towards another person. I don’t know if little kids are capable of that. These are knock down and tackle pillow fights. Even the toddler tries to participate. Overall it is a great option for rainy days or times when everyone needs to get a little energy out. It also makes a good precursor for reading books together on the couch.
Oh yes, my boys love pillow fights, and anything that involves beating on each other, like wrestling. Boys will be boys! Lots of teaching going on here about gentleness, kindness and putting others before oneself . . .
