Description
Before the Junior-linked workshop, carry a soft parcel on your two forearms like a penguin holding a bundle. Can you reach the nearby chair without dropping it?
What to prep
- Small folded towel
- Chair
- Clear short floor route
Cost: FreeBest time: Anytime
Play guide
- 1Make a light parcel from a folded towel. Rest it across both forearms held comfortably in front of you.
- 2Walk a few ordinary steps to a nearby chair and place the parcel on the seat. Your partner has a turn with the same route.
- 3Try a slightly different fold or shorter route and see which makes the parcel easier to carry.
Success signals
The child changes their support or parcel shape to complete a real balance-and-carry challenge.
If it's tricky
Walking is unsuitable: transfer the folded towel between two nearby tabletop spots using both forearms.
