Let’s face it—for many of us, wintertime means a lot of indoor time. And indoor time often means a lot of unused energy, especially for our little ones.

Here are a few of our favorite books that actually get kids up and moving. And why not involve the whole family for a little bit of indoor exercise and reading?

Sounds fun to us!

Here are our top six picks to get kids moving, grooving, and burning energy:
