Works For Me Wednesday
Playing Rocks In My Dryer: Works For Me Wednesday along with Shannon today. My tip is for teaching toddlers to catch. Use a balloon filled with air (not helium- unless you are like my mom and only out for a good laugh). Remind them to keep their eye on the balloon and to catch with their hands- The balloon moves through air slower than a ball will and gives the child time to learn to track. It also allows you time to "remind" them to keep their eyes on it.....plus- if they miss there won't be a bruise! Worked for me.....twice!

Fun idea! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea for the devlopment of hand and eye coordination...
I'll have to pass this to my daughter who teaches Early Childhood Ed.
My WFMW is up :-)
Hey Meg- I can't get the vision of engaging a toddler (particularly mine) in a game of catch with a balloon filled with helium out of my head. I keep cracking up! I am going to join this works for me wednesday thing next week- looks like a load of fun.
