Hi, I'm Zoey! I'm 3-years old and love playing outside and using my imagination.

My Mom and Dad say that going outside and being physically active is an important part of my development and overall health.

Since I have a lot of energy Mom and Dad keep me busy by letting me go outdoors to play. Mom says it helps me to burn off excess energy, work on my Motor skills and boost my endorphins... whatever those are.

That's all boring stuff though. I like playing outside because I get to run around and play with my friends. Our favorite game is duck duck goose because we get to run as fast as we can to get the other person.

I also like playing games with my friends that we need to work together to win like soccer and kickball. I just love when my friend scores a goal and I can cheer with them. Mom says that builds teamwork skills but I just think it's fun.

Mom and Dad try to do outdoor activities with me too! Our favorite thing to do is go on nature hikes to stay active. We walk around and look at different animals, flowers, and bugs they even let me run ahead! But not too far.

Sometimes when it's gross outside we do fun activities inside! Mom and Dad don't like me playing on the tablet that much and that they didn't have them when they were kids so they had to makeup games to play. So instead we have dance parties and slide around on our socks like we are ice skating!

On rainy days we also sometimes go to Fast Food restaurants. Dad says the food isn't that good for you but it's alright once in a while as long as we choose the healthier options. After we do that we always play on the indoor playground to get us moving around.

I go outside a lot at my Day Care too. The backyard has all sorts of fun things I can play on like slides, and swings, and even a sandbox and a balance beam.

My favorite activity is when my teachers makes us an obstacle course in which we have to run, jump and skip! Miss Karen says this help's develop our gross motor skills.
