Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tail (FSPDT): Bouncy Ball Race

Bouncy Ball Race

Pin It



My boys love these bouncy balls.  One day they threw them at the same time and went bouncing on the floor together and I thought you both could race your bouncy balls.  My oldest loved this idea.  I made a quick sign that said "Finish Line" and hung it up for them.  Then we started our race.  They both had so much fun throwing and chasing and going to get their bouncy balls.  I really enjoyed watching them play.  Simple is fun at my house.  My boys are 3 1/2yr and 1yr.

Their Bouncy Ball Race.

My quick sign I made them.

Throwing the ball.  Little brother is a little small to get him to throw the ball at the same time every time but he did it a few times.  Mommy played too with big brother.

Little brother loved watching the ball bounce down the hall.


I think they had a lot of fun running to get their balls:-)

Little brother really wanted to get that sign down.  And after a while he won.

 We had a lot of fun with this simple idea and look forward to the next time we get our bouncy balls out.  Hope you and your kids can have some bouncy fun too.

Note:  The balls can be changed out for bigger ones depending on the kids age.  My tot is 1yr and did ok but I did watch them the whole time they played.  Some children may want to put the small balls in their mouths.  Bigger balls would be fun too.

Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back:-)

All kids are different and only you can decide how you let your kids play. Please keep this in mind with any post you read of mine!

  1. Love how the little guy was able to get involved. You can try this again with different sized balls and see which are quicker. Just stumbled this! Vicky from www.messforless.net
