WELL, That is one thing I do know about.......The swimming with CF

.........IS the best thing for her. My granddaughter swam almost everyday ,

especially in the winter at the local YMCA.It was checked thru-out the day

for all bacteria. believe , My daughter knew to watch them & do it herself.

She was raised with a pool in her backyard ( we live in Orlando, FL .

That and the trampoline. You can get a small in house one T ALL THE DISCOUNT

STORE . OR SAMS.COSCO .TARGET .WAL- mART , ETC and ALL THE SPORT STORES .

PLACES LIKE SEARS TOO. tHEY ARE INEXPENSIVE.......HAVE WALL SCREENS ON SIDES

for safety- if YOU WANT. for THE LITTLE ONE YOU DON'T NEED..........ERIN was

NEVER sick & had strong enough muscles to take 1st place (I know some are so

tired of hearing this) in cross country in NC at high school. Really ---Docs

will also tell you. After playing (?) on either of those -then

crafts ---movies---------reading!!!.....are always great. You could start

her sewing . small thing Get some of the child kits at " Joannes " or where

ever -like MICHAELS they are cheap & really are great . Do mosaic

pictures.....sand art.........Just go into a MICHAELS or like craft shop &

they will have aisle of things to do . best wishes. I could go on & on.

Mine all love do those sun catchers painting things too--They could be her

Christmas gifts to family (grandmom, etc & teacher --etc......... )

I deas for Activities?

Hi all,

I am wondering if any of you have any suggestions for activities for a 4 &

1/2 year old girl. I am trying to keep her active and this year has

decided that she doesn't want to do dance class like last year. We are

looking into gymnastics but I was wondering if there are any other things

that kids like. She has NO interest in sports like t-ball, basketball or

soccer. We do not live anywhere near horses I am concerned about letting

her do indoor swimming. (pa and other bacteria) We are feeling very

limited here. Any Ideas? (We live in PA so I am thinking indoor so we can

continue during the cold months)

yes, does all the craft things and we read a ton, I was thinking more

about exercise types of things, She has a ball hopper that she likes to use.

We do not have a Y that is close by and I'm not sure if the indoor pool at the

middle school is checked as often as it should be. we have a small yard so a

big trampoline is out but maybe a small one would work for her, thanks!

Great. Sorry about the " Y " . BUT you should ask about the school

pool --They should be checked by the health dept. regardless of

CF...........

But there is also JUMP ROPE ; Hula HOOP, (saw them at Toys R Us , so they

are still around... wee ones too;)

They have children exercise tapes....or some like funny

ones, or some with girls too. She could do those in some cute little

leotards & make a game out of it . Music, you could do with her:):)...

Something my gals liked were roller skates. For the wee ones they have them

with slower (plastic), wheels so they can be used inside & if used outside,

they don't go fast. Maybe in your garage--basement or driveway or sidewalks.

KIDS love things like that too.

Take a walk thru a TOYS ARE " US " & see what new stuff they have ......or

do you get a Sears Catalog, or live near a store & look thru one.

It is a shame she doesn't want dance. That is such good exercise.. I am sure

folks will come up with some . Good luck & God Bless you.
