Build Your Own Balance Beam
This was a great activity we did last week. The kids have been very interested recently in using real tools. At first I was hesitant but figured why not try it. I guess I better mention use all tools with adult supervision. So they decided they wanted to make a balance beam. We had lots of scrap wood lying around to make one.
This play time encouraged:
- sense of accomplishment
- eye hand coordination
- bilateral coordination
- spatial awareness skills
- balance skills
- lots of physical activity outdoors
