<p>Abstract</p><p>This work is about children’s motor activity. You can often hear in media about sedentary children, and that one of the factors which contributed to this is computers and things like that. The main goal with this work is to find out how preschool teachers take care of children’s joy of movement and how they work to promote children’s progress of motor activity. To get answers to my questions I have used qualitative interviews. I’ve been interviewing four preschool teachers from two different preschools to find out how they work with motor activity. The result of the interviews shows that the teachers had god knowledge about the subject and the answers become pretty similar for all of them. They all considered that children’s motor activity make sense for their development and that it is important to find stimulating environments, for example out in the open an in the forest. They also pointed out that it is important to give children time to play on their own.</p><p>Keyword: free playing, preschool, motor activity, out in the open</p>
