Heavy Roll Cotton Sweep
Purpose
This activity uses a weighted paper roll to provide deep pressure. This helps your toddler understand where their body is in space. It turns a simple clean up game into a core workout. The rice inside adds weight and a fun sound. It builds hand strength and helps both sides of the body work together. Your little one will love the noise it makes as they push it across the floor!
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Adult: Fill an empty paper roll halfway with dry rice.
- Use several layers of masking tape to seal the ends.
- Child: Stand up and hold the roll with both hands.
- Place a few cotton balls on a smooth floor.
- Use the heavy roll to push the balls toward the basket.
- Try to keep the roll straight so the balls don’t escape.
- Reach the basket to win the game!
Safety Tip:
Always supervise your toddler during play. Small rice grains are a choking hazard. Ensure the tape is very secure.
