Ways to play with Plastic balls Outside

Almost everybody has these plastic balls lying around the house, right?

We played outside with the balls, but most of these activities can be done indoors as well.

Here are some ideas on how the kids can play with it and learn while playing:

- We used the mini washing line (I set up a while ago for the doll clorhes we washed), and pegged coloured paper to it. Used the papers as targets to throw the same colour balls at. #grossmotorskills #colourrecognition # colourmatching

- She moved the balls from there with her cart

-Where we used the papers again to sort the balls, count them, talked about more, less,add etc. #mathematicalskills

-That led to jumping over the balls like a froggy #grossmotorskills

- We packed a sequence with the balls

- And some shapes

- This was cages in which she had to hide while I try to catch her (wish brother were older so he could do the catching!)

- She tried to get all the balls together with the hockey stick #handeyecoordination still developing here

- For pack away time we threw the ball into the crate from a distance #estimationskills #grossmotorskills

- We love to swim with the balls and jump with it on the trampoline

A lovely, educational product, just be warned moms: it is exhausting;)
