Rolly polly hill
Arms in, and roll! Find a gentle grassy slope and enjoy the giggly ride down.
*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.
A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 2 min to check the hill · 12 min to roll · 1 min to brush off. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- A gentle, grassy slope
- Clothes you don't mind getting grassy
Let's begin
Four simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
- Grown-up job
An adult walks the slope first to check it's clear.
Lie down sideways at the top, arms tucked in or stretched above your head.
Roll, roll, roll to the bottom.
Climb back up and try it again. Faster? Slower?
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
