Here's an entertaining and challenging activity you can do with an individual child or a whole bunch of kids!
The idea is simple! Hold a ping-pong ball on a spoon and walk around the house. But what if you make it more challenging? For example, see if your child can get around the house following a certain course without dropping the ball. As your child gets better at it, make up an obstacle course or a list of tasks to be done with your child's free hand, like moving a book from one table to another, opening and closing a door or drawer, patting his or her head, and so on!
If your child is older, see if he or she can hop around the course without dropping the ball. To really boost the difficulty, place the ball on an infant or medicine spoon.
Groups of kids can have the spoon races or play hide and seek: all of the people who are hiding must balance a ping-pong ball on a spoon as they dash for a hiding spot. If it falls, that's where they have to hide!
