About KIDDO
Getting kids aged from birth – 5 years moving. Building their physical literacy. Helping them to have fun. And developing the skills, motivation and confidence to be active for life. That’s what KIDDO is all about!
KIDDO was born from world-class exercise and sport science research at The University of Western Australia. We translate the latest research into online resources and tools that support primary school teachers, early childhood educators, parents and carers deliver physical literacy programs to children. They’re all designed to nurture a love of physical activity that will last a lifetime.

What is Physical Literacy?
Put simply, it is the skills, motivation, confidence and knowledge to be active.
Why is it so important?
Children are spending more time playing indoors and on screens than outdoors and in the park. As a result, many are failing to develop the basic building blocks of movement such as running, throwing, kicking, catching, jumping and balancing.
The challenge is not only to help children develop these fundamental movement skills but to also want to be physically active – understanding why regular physical activity is so important to their futures.
