The Gifting Experts recently received a copy of Coursing Around. This iParenting Media Award Winner and Creative Child Magazine 2012 Product of the Year Award Winner takes simple sidewalk chalk to so many new levels!
Coursing Around was invented by Mom and Fitness Trainer, Debbie Tougas. Debbie was recruited to lead a fitness course for school children ages 5-15. Immediately seeing the need to create a fitness routine that would not only benefit kids physically but mentally, Debbie designed a program that could be completed by an individual or large group with minimal starting materials.
The softbound, spiral book comes with 15 fun fitness courses you can easily re-create with the included
2-piece sidewalk chalk. Each course teaches children (recommended for ages 4+) shapes, numbers, colors and letters. The book even includes a ruler printed on the back to make measuring each course simple and easy.
Coursing Around is a great way to include your children in the activity setup process to encourage creativity and teamwork. After completing the 15 courses, you are sure to have your family favorites and will be inspired to create your own fitness courses. This program is especially beneficial for improving your children’s memory, fitness endurance and fine motor skills such as balance and hand-eye/foot coordination.
If you are looking for a new outdoor activity this Summer, purchase a copy of Coursing Around for your family. Or consider donating one to your local YMCA or favorite Summer camp! This would also make a great gift for babysitters, teachers or a Summer birthday girl or boy!
