Can you guess what one of our favorite things to do when we're bored and stuck inside? Blow up balloons. Minimal investment. No helium required. Tons of fun!
Our favorite game is volleyball. If it's warm enough we go into the garage and draw a "court" on the ground with chalk. If not, we use the sofa as a net. Did you know that one of the best ways for a little one to learn how to catch and hit a ball is with a balloon? Now, that's strictly from my opinion bank but I'm quite certain it's true!
Bored of volleyball? How 'bout tennis? Have a paper plate laying around? A ruler or wooden stick (we use the fairy princess wand dowels)? Tape the stick on to the back of the plate. Ta-da. Racket. We even draw pretty faces on our rackets. Give it a whirl. The lack of speed that the balloon provides makes it nearly impossible for a toddler to miss a shot and they feel so rewarded.
Rainy days are a comin'....
