+1. This. I know it’s cold, but buy your boy some good long underwear and a hat and run him around outside.  My kids don’t throw things unless they’re going stir crazy at home.[/quote]

My boys at that age would throw things for fun. They were really active kids who would go stir crazy and drive me bonkers when we didn't go outside our 1100 Sq. Ft. townhouse. I would take them to a track and I would walk laps and they would run back and forth on the grass. One day we found a high school kicker who would practice kicking field goals. It worked out that my kids would chase after the footballs he kicked and race back and give them to the kicker. They would wait until he finished kicking the 3 footballs he had, then retrieve them. I asked the high school kid for his practice schedule and for a few weeks I had them chase all the footballs. Other days we would go to an open field and I would let them run around like crazy. 
They just needed that physical release. Thinking back it is crazy how much and for how far they would run at 18 months to 3 years old. They were tiny but could keep going and going. It is the only thing that kept me sane. Now they play a couple of sports each season so it is easier for them to get exercise. [/quote]
