Happy Knocking Downward Loving Cup Towers {Baby Playtime}

My infant is growing upward agency also fast together with is on the move. Lately we've been trying to notice to a greater extent than activities that he tin create amongst his big siblings.

Today I am sharing a uncomplicated loving cup tower game that my 5-year-old had fun putting together for his infant blood brother (who is currently 10.5 months old).

Materials nosotros used:
plastic ball together with 8-10 plastic cups

How nosotros played:

To outset off, my 5-year-old laid upward a bunch of plastic loving cup towers spell my infant did a trivial pillow obstruction course (shared amongst us past times Hands On: As We Grow).

My boy knows his blood brother well, together with knew that the taller the tower... the to a greater extent than excited his infant blood brother would live to knock it down. He also knows that the infant loves balls... hence he snuck a ball within i of the cups to entice him to knock it down.

Once nosotros started playing this knock downwards game I had the hardest fourth dimension keeping the infant away from the towers equally my boy would laid upward because he persuasion it was SO FUN to knock them down.

It was adorable how much fun my oldest was having amongst the baby. They wanted to play i time again together with i time again together with again.

The infant also had fun bouncing the ball out of his plastic loving cup together with only next the ball only about the room.

Not solely was this game a fun sibling bonding activity, it was also corking for visual tracking (as the infant tried to follow the ball around), hand-eye coordination (hands coming inwards contact amongst a target), together with edifice gross motor skills (crawling, hitting, swinging arms, throwing the ball, together with banging the ball together with loving cup together).
