Edit
For our final A Very Toddler Olympics activity this calendar week nosotros decided to stimulate got unopen to of the skills used inward unopen to of our favorite Olympics throwing/target events (archery, hammer throw, discus throw, together with shot put) together with do a fun target activity.
We grabbed an one-time cardboard box together with unopen to cups together with created a super elementary moving targets color game for toddlers.
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR COLOR TARGET GAME:
- styrofoam cups
- cardboard box
- scissors
- permanent markers
- string
- clear packing tape
- a soft ball
HOW TO MAKE THE COLOR TARGET GAME:
To larn started nosotros cutting iii sides off of a cardboard box. You could cutting all sides off, simply I idea it balanced ameliorate leaving i side on.
Next cutting a tiny sideslip inward the transcend of several styrofoam cups together with delineate unopen to string through the hole. Knot the terminate that is within the loving cup together with thence that it can't larn through the hole. Add unopen to packing record to secure the string to the within transcend of each cup.
Add a colored circle to each loving cup using a permanent marking (and a seat out value if yous desire every bit a well- for older kids).
Cut pocket-size slits on the transcend border of the cardboard box. Make i slit for each cup. Pull the cups amongst strings through the slits together with necktie knots at the transcend together with thence that they won't larn through the slits.
Vary the cups together with thence that they are at unlike levels.
Once everything is secure yous are laid upwardly to play the moving targets game. For extra safety yous tin besides add together a strip of packing record along the transcend of the box, on transcend of the threads, to secure them inward place.
HOW TO PLAY THE TARGET GAME:
Give your toddler a pocket-size soft ball together with role a barrier to grade where he should sit down when he is throwing. Older kids movement farther back, niggling kids sit down closer.
I encouraged my boy to alternative a color together with telephone phone it out earlier he threw the ball. His finish was to endeavour together with hitting the colored loving cup he "called."
Usually he stayed behind his blueish record line... sometimes he snuck inward forepart of it. We tried to hitting the unlike color targets over again together with over again together with again.
This activeness worked on elementary color recognition along amongst hand-eye coordination together with throwing! It was a lot of fun together with the to a greater extent than nosotros practiced, the ameliorate nosotros got.
