Do you do yoga?

I like doing simple yoga alone at home. I have never taken a formal yoga class before and what I am doing at home is really basic movement. It is more like just stretching body, yet I feel refreshed and motivated after doing it.

These days it is not hard to find yoga video clips on internet, even the kids ones. Have you ever heard of “Cosmic Kids Yoga“? I found this channel on YouTube and I really like it. The instructor does yoga postures while she tells a story. It is entertaining enough for me😜 and I am sure children will like it.

Among many video clips, I found “Trolls” very funny. It is based on the movie “Trolls”. It is about 30 minutes long and I think it may be considered as a good screen time for children because it will make them move their bodies and improve gross motor skills even inside the house.

Check the channel and show it to your children. I also recommend you to do it together with them because you may have lost your gym/exercise time during this quarantine and need to work on gross motor as well 😁

Here are two other activities that children can do after doing the Trolls yoga.😎

Paint trolls

You can print out the troll face and give it to children with materials like paints, crayons and markers.

Tips: If you have yarn at home, it can be used for troll’s hair. Cut and glue.

I only made it with the Guy Diamond face. If your kids want, you can search for other characters’ faces on Google.

Be creative!

Make a handprint troll

I found this idea from Pinterest. It’s from Carole Frazer.

Once you show how to make a handprint and draw the face in it, children would be able to do this by themselves.

Tip: There are many characters in the movie Trolls. Ask children to try making all the characters. They can train their ability to observe.

I’ve just realized that there’s Trolls 2! It came out today!

Maybe I can make another activity post about Trolls 2 later.😁

Stay safe and healthy by doing yoga with your children and trolls!
