This week's "indoor" activity was moved outside due to a break in the rain. So, this is still possible to do indoors, but the fresh air was beckoning us to come outside!
Items Needed:
Cones (I found mine on Amazon)
Balls
Set Up:
Pay close attention to this part as set up is quite difficult... I'm kidding of course. Just put the cones out in a straight line spaced evenly apart.
Directions:
Have the kids weave in and out of the cones racing to see who can reach the other end first. If you have an older child, they can dribble the ball with their foot between the cones.
Notes:
When we first started, I tried to get the kids to kick the ball as they ran. I must have forgotten they are 2 and 4 because that was a complete flop! Jenna was able to run weaving between the cones, and eventually I encouraged Connor to follow her as she ran to help him figure it out.
After the kids grew tired of running through the cones, we took their balls and played "knock down the cones". They kicked and threw the balls until they knocked them all down. It's amazing how such simple games can provide so much fun for kids!
