BALL TOSS
|
|
Set out a large laundry basket and several small, soft balls. |
|
|
Have your child gently toss the balls into the laundry basket,
one at a time. |
|
|
Let your child discover how far away he can stand from the
basket and still toss the balls inside of it. |
|
BOX ROLL
|
|
Find a shoebox and a small rubber ball. (Be sure the ball
is large enough that it won't fit in your child's mouth.) |
|
|
Cut a hole in the bottom of the box, slightly larger than
the ball. |
 |
Show your child how to drop the ball into the box and move
the box around until the ball rolls out the hole. |
|
|
Pick up the ball and let your child drop it in the box again. |
|
BALL ART
| Set out construction paper,
a plate with a small amount of tempera paint on it, and a small,
sponge-type ball. |
| Let your child dip the ball
into the paint and then onto the paper to make prints. |
|
BOUNCING BALL BOOK
|
|
Cut out magazine pictures of interesting
people and animals. |
|
|
Let your child help you place a circle sticker "ball"
on each picture. |
|
|
Staple the pictures together and add a construction paper
cover. |
 |
Read your Bouncing Ball Book together, looking for the "ball"
on each page. |
