What Goes Up Must Come Down


What goes up comes down with a bounce-and lots of laughter!

It's all about learning something new the toddler way, which means challenging and inspiring that natural sense of wonder. And this week, it was all about having a ball.

Toddler's don't always realize the physical properties of a ball, and may be surprised and thrown off balance when a ball bounces back up. But, by practicing bouncing and rolling balls in class, s/he will learn to predict what the ball will do and move as she needs to maintain her balance and keep control of the ball.

He can use these balancing skills when learning new moves, like skipping and jumping. Rolling and catching the ball improves hand-eye coordination, which will help her with many activities as she grows.
