What will need:
- drinking straw
- craft pompoms
The rules of our activity (that can be broken by younger kids): Blowing pompoms from point A to point B.
What they are learning as they play:
physical: Blowing pompoms are great oral-motor-skills practice.
personal, social and emotional: concentration, HEAPS of playful fun!
Kind of this ordinary moment, ordinary things, but as I look at my son, I see in his eyes, passion, determination and extraordinary creativity. I am suggesting to him play, and in the end, instead of something to do at home I stare at my kid.
Oh he's so very cute, and what a great game to keep him occupied. I hadn't come across this before and although it's simple I can imagine quite a lot of imaginary commentary goes along with this game. He looks like he's having fun

thank you. He's a great time and had a lot of ideas for this game.
DeleteThis is such a simple but great idea- my girls would love this! I will definitely be trying this, thank you for the tip.
ReplyDeletethank you
DeleteYou are so right that simple is often best. And not too many rules or pre-determined outcomes. This would be a great game for a restaurant where you need a little distraction while waiting for the food.. very quiet!
ReplyDeletea great game for a restaurant! - I didn't think about this. :-)
