Why Spring Is the Perfect Time to Get Moving
Did you know kids are significantly more active in spring than during the colder months? A study in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health found that children’s physical activity levels are 15–30% higher in spring compared to fall and winter. That makes now the ideal season to encourage healthy habits and get kids moving—especially with easy-to-use playsets like these.
My First Goal 2-in-1 Soccer and Hockey Combo Set
Double the fun, double the skills! This multi-sport set is perfect for kids aged 3 and up who love variety—and movement. Whether it’s a living room face-off or a backyard World Cup, this set turns any space into a play zone.
What’s included:
- Mini PVC soccer ball and soccer field play mat

From practicing passes to taking shots on goal, this 2-in-1 combo helps build coordination, teamwork, and confidence while keeping little bodies moving. Early exposure to sports like these can have a lasting impact: research shows that kids who start playing sports young often develop stronger motor skills, improved social development, and even better academic performance over time. To make the playtime much more realistic, pair the game with hockey jerseys custom made for your kid.
