Balls in a Basin
What to do:
- Ping-pong balls make good toys for toddlers and older children. They are inexpensive, fun, and safe.
- Ping-pong balls also make great bath toys for older toddlers.
- Have children push balls under the water and watch them pop up to the surface.
- Place the pan on the floor, patio or lawn and watch children try to submerge the balls.
- Keep a watchful eye on children while engaged in this water game. Even a small amount of water in a dishpan could be hazardous to a small child who falls face first into the container.
