The Paper Plate Ring Toss
Purpose
A classic game made from household items! This activity helps your child improve their aim and timing. By tossing rings onto a target, they practice coordinating their eyes and hands. It also encourages them to stand and balance while moving. Cutting the plates provides a great workout for their hand muscles. This is a wonderful way to play together and celebrate every success!
Activity Steps
Steps:
- Help your child use the scissors to cut the center out of four paper plates to make rings.
- Tape a paper roll vertically onto the center of a sturdy piece of cardboard to create a post.
- Use markers to decorate the rings and the post with bright colors.
- Place the target on the floor and mark a starting line with masking tape a few feet away.
- Ask your child to stand behind the line and try to toss the rings onto the post.
Safety Tip:
Adult supervision is required while using scissors. Ensure the play area is clear of toys to prevent tripping.
