Keep The Cloth Balanced

Description

What to prep

  • One small folded washcloth per player
Cost: FreeBest time: Anytime

Play guide

  1. 1Put a small folded washcloth on an open palm with your elbow comfortably bent.
  2. 2Move the hand in a slow, small circle while keeping the cloth balanced. Your partner tries alongside you.
  3. 3Change hands or make the circle slightly wider. Compare which speed makes balancing easier.

Success signals

The child adjusts movement speed or size to control a real balanced object.

If it's tricky

Balancing is difficult: use two hands underneath the cloth and make a smaller circle.
