Ping Pong Ball - Page 3 of 4

Spoon Glide Seesaw

Steps:

Tape two long cardboard strips side-by-side to make a wide path.
Draw a colorful zigzag line down the middle with markers.
Place a ping pong ball at the start of the path.
Give your child a spoon.
Ask them to hold the cardboard track with both hands.
Tilt the board left and right to roll the ball.
Use the spoon in one hand to keep the ball on the line.

Safety Tip:
Always supervise your child during play to ensure they use the spoon and ball safely.

The Nosey Ball Maze

Steps:

Use your masking tape to create a winding path on a smooth floor or rug.
Make sure the path has a clear start and finish line.
Have your child get down on their hands and knees at the start.
Place a small ball, like a ping pong ball, right in front of their face.
Challenge your child to push the ball through the maze using only their nose!
They must keep their hands on the floor to stay steady as they move.
Encourage them to stay inside the tape lines until they reach the end.

Safety Tip:
Always supervise your child during floor play to ensure they do not bump their head on nearby furniture.

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.

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.

Spoon Obstacle Delivery

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.
