Bean Bag Balance Game
NEEDED:
Containers (Vary the size) – use ice cream pails, bowls, sand buckets etc.
Bean Bags
Start at the smallest container and have your child place the bean bag on their foot. The child then lifts the foot with the bean bag on it and places the bean bag in the container.
Too difficult? Position your child and the buckets closer to a wall so he/she can stabilize by holding onto the wall with one hand, or hold onto mom’s hand!
