Paper Roll Tunnel Guide

Steps:

Tape four paper rolls onto a large piece of cardboard to create tunnels.
Place the board on a flat table or the floor.
Give your child a ping pong ball and a craft stick.
Ask them to push the ball through each tunnel using the stick.
They should hold the board steady with their helper hand.

Safety Tip:
Constant adult supervision is required. Ping pong balls can be a choking hazard for young children. Ensure all materials are used as intended.

Plate Tilt Button Slide

Steps:

Use a piece of masking tape to make a small tunnel on one side of the paper plate.
Place two colorful buttons on the plate.
Ask your child to hold the plate with both hands.
Challenge them to tilt the plate back and forth.
They must guide the buttons so they slide through the tape tunnel.
Try to see how many times they can slide the buttons through without them falling off.

Safety Tip:
Always supervise your child during play. Buttons are small objects and pose a significant choking hazard for young children. Ensure all materials are used only as intended.

Splash Goal Ball Push

Steps:

Tear four long strips of masking tape.
Tape them to a piece of cardboard to make a square goal.
Put the cardboard on a flat, water-safe surface.
Fill the trigger style spray bottle with plain water.
Place a ping pong ball near the start of the cardboard.
Ask your child to squeeze the trigger to spray the ball.
They must aim the stream to push the ball into the goal.
Try moving the ball back to increase the difficulty.

Safety Tip:
Always supervise water play. Ensure the floor is dry to prevent slips.

Bumpy Bubble Marble Slide

Steps:

Lay a sheet of Bubble Wrap flat on a table with the bubbles facing down.
Secure all four corners with Masking Tape to keep it from moving.
Place a marble under the wrap at one corner.
Use your index finger to press on top of the wrap.
Guide the marble through the tiny paths between the bubbles.
Try to reach the opposite corner without popping any bubbles!
Use your other hand to push the marble back to the start.

Safety Tip:
Marbles are a significant choking hazard. Constant and direct adult supervision is required. Ensure all marbles are collected and stored safely after play.

Floating Balloon Paddle Tap

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.
