Playing with a ball is great for developing a toddler’s motor skills and their eye/hand coordination.
Toddlers will love to play this ball game that gives them such a sense of accomplishment!
What you will need:
• A soft rubber, plastic, or foam ball.
• A box or basket that is big enough for the ball.
• A lot of floor space. (make sure to clear away any breakable items)
How to play:
• Place the box or basket against a wall in the room.
• Place your toddler a ways away from the box or basket.
• Now, encourage your toddler to throw the ball and make a basket.
If they seem to make the basket too easily, move them back away from it more. You want the game to present a challenge to them. Likewise, if it seems to difficult, move them closer to the basket so they do not get frustrated.
• Cheer and clap and tell your toddler what a great ball player they are!
