Floating Balloon Paddle Tap
Purpose
This game is a great way to help your child grow. It builds the arm muscles they will need later for school. Reaching up high helps their shoulders stay strong and steady. Their eyes will also practice following the balloon as it moves. It is simple to set up and very fun to play!
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Blow up a balloon and tie yarn to the end.
- Use masking tape to stick the yarn to a door.
- Let the balloon hang low enough for your child to reach.
- Give them a paper plate to hold like a paddle.
- Ask them to tap the balloon with the plate.
- See how many times they can hit it in a row.
Safety Tip:
Always supervise children with balloons. Broken balloon pieces are a serious choking hazard. Ensure the yarn is not long enough to wrap around the neck.
