What is a good activity for a 4 year old to get in to?

Question

I'm thinking of enrolling my son in some sort of club or get lessons in something as I think that it's good for them to have interests from an early age. Maybe something sporty, creative or even learning to play an instrument.

What would you recommend?

I will also be interested to hear from anyone who has done something similar with their child and can tell me their experiences.

Answer 1

any sort of martial art. it'll give them the belts to aim for, and get a sense of achievement, and they're all good physical and calming sports but they can also boast about it at school (like kids do)...

Answer 2

football, swimming, piano lessons...

Answer 3

Start teaching them about s*x and how to protect themselves.

Answer 4

whats important is that you let him pick.  i know he's four, but this way he'll be more apt to try it. Give him choices that you feel comfortable with like playing a sport. They have tons of leagues for younger kids and it'll be a great way to form playgroups which can give mommy a nice day off :)

Answer 5

combine swimming " great for building body "

archery " for concentrate " or piano " same "

and backhourse riding " compation social and self control "  

Answer 6

T-ball, gymnastics, swimming, or art class. I would keep it simple, but spoty are great for little kids!

Answer 12

Bring him to a local ( depends where you live )

Soccer / Football club !

He'll be brilliant if he starts at an early age. !

Answer 13

I started the recorder at about this age. That was fun. I also liked painting and drawing. Just see what he is interested in, it will probably be similar to you or your partner's interests.
