I received 3 ping pong balls from my sister but it’s obviously not possible to play table tennis with JX, so I have come up with this idea….
JX and I worked together to build a structure using ‘Mega Bloks’, mommy was responsible to build the base and little one was responsible for the sidewall. The concept is to allow the ball to roll down from high to low with ‘mega bloks’ providing the friction to slow down the movement.
In order to encourage JX's curiosity, I decided to make this simple game more inviting by -
a. showing JX how I pushed the ball, 1 at each time but with different force applied. I use simple words like 'push hard/harder', 'gently touch' the ball to explain to JX.
b. pushed 2 or 3 balls at the same time and let the balls collide each other while moving down the track
c. applied a great force and let the balls bounce off from the structure and drop to the floor. Then we spent a great time chasing the ping pong balls.
JX seemed to love this ‘new game’ as he spent the next hour imitate mommy's previous act & also explored his own way of playing with it while excitedly watching the effect that he has made.
Another good idea for mommy to sit back and relax. ^_^
