So I've noticed that DD will usually fall asleep much more easily and is more likely to stay asleep all night on days she has her Little Gym class. I think it would be good for her to have 30 minutes to and hour of harder play daily but I don't know how to get her to play harder at home. Any fun activities or games that your LO loves that really gets all their pent up energy out? Or am I hoping for something that doesn't exist?

my boys like to do yoga with me, and we have dance parties.

How about a mini trampoline or making obstacle course runs in your house? Kid gymnastic videos are fun too.

How old? We play hide and seek or "chase" inside. I also agree with dance parties.

@danda: she's 3.

LO (4) got this for Christmas this year and it is great for getting out some energy! https://www.amazon.com/Educational-Insights-Magic-Moves-Electronic/dp/B006X9KUL6

I set up obstacle courses at home, and we race through them. For example, run around this chair, crawl under the table, do jumping jacks, etc. My daughter loves this so much and it is easy to do outside and inside.

Look up heavy work activities for toddlers. They are OT activities used for kids with sensory processing issues but really also good activities to get energy out of little people.

We like GoNoodle videos on YouTube. They're designed for indoor recess for elementary kids, but my toddler likes to dance to them too.

Do you have playground nearby? That's our go to. We recently put a slide on our play area and that's helped a lot!
