Spoon Obstacle Delivery
- Play time:
- 10 to 15 minutes
- Setup:
- 5 minutes
- Where:
- Floor
Why it helps
This fun delivery challenge helps your child develop steady balance and deep muscle awareness. They must constantly grade the force they use to keep the light ping pong ball balanced on the spoon.
Steps
- Create a path on the floor by spacing out 4-5 Boxes. Use different sizes of boxes to create a varied, low obstacle maze.
- Place the Stuffed Animal (the customer!) at the finish line. Give your child the Spoon and have them balance the Ping Pong Ball on it.
- Challenge your child to walk or step carefully through the maze without letting the "delivery" fall off the spoon. If it drops, they must return to the starting point to try again.
Safety tip: Ensure the path is clear of trip hazards. Make sure the boxes used as obstacles are sturdy enough not to collapse when bumped.
