A toddler game of catch
Fintan has a hard time catching balls from the air when playing catch. They usually slip through his fingers and bounce off his feet. But Pat discovered a great way to play catch with Fintan this weekend. We received a package in the mail that contained some little air-filled bags for padding. They were connected together in a strand of 3 or 4 and Pat left a couple of them attached to each other, jumbled them up and threw those to Fintan. They actually went fairly straight, from close range, and floated just enough that Fintan could catch them pretty easily out of the air. He was so proud of himself, too!

Playing catch is such fun for toddlers. Maya does not have it down just yet but we are working on it. We are using a slightly deflated beach ball for Maya to perfect her catching skills :)
I loved the idea for making ornaments!

Can't wait to get our next package.
What a great idea! A friend of mine that does therapy for kids said that those balls with the holes in them (like cages) are great for playing catch (not the heavy ones). She said that is really what their intended purpose it because kids have something to grasp onto. I never knew what the draw was to those things!
