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!
