Mysterious Ball

Materials You Need:  Cloth ball (preferably); two soft blankets. 

What You Can Do Together: Start the activity by placing two blankets on the floor or a flat surface. Sit your little one on the blankets and stand in front of her/him at a safe distance. 

Show her/him how to catch the ball then roll the ball gently towards them. Encourage your little one to roll the ball towards you. When your little one moves the ball and follows it with her/his eyes, he/she works on developing her/his motor skills and visual perception. 

What Your Child is Learning: This activity will help your child to strengthen muscle connections, eye-hand coordination, and visual perception as your little one manages to keep her/his balance while sitting up and rolling the ball.
