Jumping Lily Pads II

Parent and child pretend to be frogs jumping between hula hoops (lily pads), collecting balls and placing them in a bucket. The agent coaches the parent to observe jumping coordination, two-footed takeoff and landing, and directional kicking — building gross motor skills through imaginative play.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Five hula hoops or taped circles spaced apart on floor. One small soft ball in each hoop. Bucket or basket placed nearby. Clear, safe space for jumping. Child wearing comfortable clothes and shoes.

The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
