Activity : Hand-eye coordination exercise
Category : Activities for kids Permalink
When Anya attended a trial tennis lesson some two months ago, she was required to try and hit inflated balloons with her little tennis racket.
Being light weight, these balloons’ slower move allows little children more time to concentrate, aim and hit them with the rackets.
It’s a great hand-eye coordination exercise!
And these days, Vai likes to do this too at home. He’d go around the house hitting a balloon up in the air with his little ‘badminton’ racket, looking up and following its movement closely and hitting it upwards again with his racket.
And I often join in the fun and help keep the balloon up for as long as we can!
PS: Other than using a racket to reach for the balloon and hit it upwards, he’d sometimes use his palm, my plastic ladle (!), even his sister’s plastic toy plate among other things!
