Stuffed Animal Delivery Drive
Purpose
This activity builds the big muscles in your child's arms and shoulders. When your toddler pushes a heavy basket, they are getting great heavy work input. This helps them feel where their body is in space. It also works on balance as they navigate across the floor.
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Use your masking tape to mark a large parking square on a smooth floor or rug.
- Place your child’s favorite stuffed animal inside the basket.
- Ask your child to add several blocks to the basket to make it heavy for the delivery.
- Have your child stand behind the basket and place both hands on the rim.
- Encourage your toddler to push the basket slowly across the room toward the tape square.
- Cheer for them when they park the delivery right inside the lines!
Safety Tip:
CHOKING HAZARD: This activity uses small blocks and tape. Always supervise your child closely and keep small parts away from the mouth.
