String (or a broom
or hose pipe) Two Chairs |
Tie some string
between two chairs. Make it high enough for your child to easily
get under.
Now lower the string and have them walk under while bending backwards. If they touch the string, they need to try again until they can go under the string without touching it. Lower the string again and have your child try again. If bending backwards is too difficult, have them go under the string any way they want, without touching the string. Have them bend under the string backwards when they are a little older. |
