The idea for this activity is fairly simple. It is to hang toys from the ceiling or a doorway so that baby can bat at them. I had originally wanted to use balls for this activity, but when it came down to actually hanging the toys up I decided to go with a variety of different toys that were easier to hang. The toys I used were: A water bottle filled with aluminum foil A present bow A ball A ring from a stacker toy A football baby toy Izzy's favorite of the 5 toys was the ball because it made the most noise when he batted at it. He was able to pull down the ball and the bow after playing for a while, but I showed him how he could use the attached string to pull the toys around the house and he thought that was almost more fun than batting at them. The one thing I would change if I were to do this activity over again would be to raise the toys up a little bit so he had to stretch a little more to reach them because I think that would help more with his balance and gross motor skills.

AuthorHi! My name is Cassity and I am the mom to a little 2 year old boy named Izzy and a baby girl named Sydney. I am lucky enough to get to be a stay-at-home mom to them and we have fun thinking of new activities to do together in the afternoons. We created this blog as an opportunity to share those activities with you. Archives
