Free Rolling


From a very young age (around 2 months) my children loved this fun little playtime activity. It is an age where they want more but not too much and also an age I found extremely difficult to find activities to do.

This activity helped to rid excess energy to aid in daytime naps and the joy on their face was priceless.

What is it?  A nappy free, clothes free kick and play. It is an activity that costs nothing!

What will you need for this playtime?
A space for the baby to be free (Inside if too hot/cold OR they love it in the open air taking precautions to protect the babies skin and eyes a shaded umbrella or tree is perfect)
A waterproof or easily washable mat
Spare nappy on close hand for the quick change

As soon as the nappy is off they will kick and squiggle around in delight, it only takes 5 to 10 minutes to see them wear down when they are young and it is a great way for your baby to explore and discover their hands, feet and movement. It was in fact during one of these rolls that my daughters tried to roll clothed they didn’t even move.

Try it today with your baby and have fun!

Happy Play Times :-)
