Ideal for: 21 - 24 months of age
What will your toddler learn: Coordination

Place this game with at least one other person.Say the following chant.

I'm a bouncing ball
I'm a bouncing ball
Bounce bounce bounce
I'm a bouncing ball

As you say the chant, pretend to bounce up and down. You can hold your toddler at the waist and bounce her until she gets the idea. Now tell your child that you are going to become a rolling ball. Sit down and arrange it so that there is a person at each end of the room.

Tell your child, "I am going to roll you over to daddy. Ready, set, go!" If necessary, gently give your child a start and let him roll over and over to the other end of the room. Your toddler will love it if you become to ball.
