Gifts to Help Kids Burn Energy When They’re Stuck Indoors

I once embraced the joy of living a mostly sedentary life in the winter months. Hygge was my jam. ‘Tis the season for wearing fleece everything and snuggling up with a book in that permanent butt-dent in the sofa.

And then I had a child. Man, kids really don’t get the memo that it’s sustained-silent-reading season. Their bodies need to move—rain, sleet or snow be damned. Being stuck indoors can be tough. Everyone gets restless and fidgety, and you can only play “Simon says run in place for three minutes” so many times.

Luckily, we’ve found some fun gifts that help kids burn off their energy inside the house when the weather outside is truly frightful. These items may even bring something their parents have been wishing for: the gift of a nap.
