Are you looking for ways to savor these last few warm summer days before school starts? Next time you're at the dollar store, pick up some water balloons for a fun activity with your child. Start by filling each balloon half way up with water and bringing your child over for a fun game.
Depending on your child, you could start with handing the balloon back and forth to one another to establish a pattern, or start by a simple toss. If your child isn't able to catch a water balloon, have fun throwing it against the side of the house or garage together. Make sure to go slow and build the anticipation through counting and facial expressions.
What variations and changes could you add to the game? Could you scoot back so you are throwing it further to one another? Could you count to see how many times you can throw it back and forth before popping it?
