Suspended Ball

Skills Developed:

Coordination

Endurance

Gross Motor

Instructions:

Place a ball inside an old stocking and hang it from a tree branch.
Have your child try to hit the ball with a bat. If you don't have a bat you might try using a rolling pin or get a ball paddle from a toy store.
Help your child count to see how many times she can hit the ball in a row.
As your child coordination and endurance improves, have her try to increase the number times she can hit the ball.

Variation:

Instead of a ball, try using a funnel to fill a balloon up with rice. Hang the balloon up with a string.
