In the Building Blocks of Fitness section, each fitness and sport skill is taught in different stages. This allows teachers, counsellors or parents to teach their preschooler a skill that sets the foundation of a more difficult skill; the next level adds a new and more complex element. By doing this, the preschool child will be safe and will feel confident about themselves.  Children will learn:  ·\tSportsmanship ·\tSocialisation skills ·\tSelf-control ·\tHow to focus and follow rules ·\tHow to share ·\tReasoning and thinking skills  For quick access and easy to follow directions, the activities are organized into six sections of different games and exercises that can easily fit into a child's allotted playtime. Throughout these sections, children can become more aware of their bodily functions, develop sportsmanship and team-working skills, increase energy expenditure, help strengthen muscles and bones and improve cardiovascular endurance. Preschoolers can decrease the risk of serious illnesses later in life while increasing their creative development. Play and exercise helps children to grow and learn about how the world works.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49635638542609,"sku":"GOR013289467","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50484582416657,"sku":"CIN0897936183G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50484582908177,"sku":"CIN0897936183VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50984805204241,"sku":"NIN9780897936187","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0897936183.jpg?v=1750786915"},{"product_id":"303-tween-approved-exercises-and-active-games-book-kimberly-wechsler-9780897936200","title":"303 Tween-Approved Exercises and Active Games","description":"303 TWEEN-APPROVED EXERCISES AND ACTIVE GAMES is written specifically for kids ages 9-12 years old.

Tweens spend as much time sitting down watching TV, playing video games, or using computers as they spend in school each week. According to statistics from the U.S. Health and Human Resources Department, one third of American children are overweight or obese due to our lifestyle choices. The number one concern that parents bring up to pediatricians is keeping kids fit, and half of all children are not physically active enough for the development of a healthy cardiovascular system.
