Ping pong is fun!
But with limited space and potentially breakable items in the home, it’s not always a practical activity for kids. That’s why balloon ping pong is awesome.
ALL YOU’LL NEED IS:
● A balloon
● Two large paper plates
● Two popsicle sticks, chopsticks, unsharpened pencils or plastic spoons ● Tape
ALL YOU’LL HAVE TO DO IS:
1.Tape one stick/pencil/spoon to the back of one of the paper plates. 2.Tape the other stick/pencil/spoon to the back of the second plate. 3.Blow up the balloon.
Start the game!
When it comes to learning the ABCs and 123s,
practice makes perfect.
However, having kids write letters and numbers with pencil and paper can get a bit repeti- tive. So why not shake things up (literally) with this fun, yet simple, sugar writing tray? It’ll change the way children learn.
ALL YOU’LL NEED IS:
● Sugar
● An unsharpened pencil
● Printed out/handwritten letters
● Printed out/handwritten numbers
● A shallow box/tray (to hold the sugar)
ALL YOU’LL HAVE TO DO IS:
1.Print or handwrite letters and numbers for the child to recreate in sugar. (This is a great work sheet that shows kids how to write letters and numbers: Click here to print.)
2.Cover the bottom of the tray/box with sugar.
3.Give the child the pencil, or just have them use their finger, to practice writing a number or letter in the sugar.
4.After they’ve written a letter or number, show them how to shake the tray and erase what they’ve done so they can start again.
