Opens a guided voice session in TogetherTime.
What you'll need
Find a small basket or container for collecting, and create a simple target using a towel, blanket, or draw a circle with chalk on pavement. No special equipment needed!
How it works
- 1~30s
First, let's go on a nature treasure hunt! Say to your child: 'Let's find 5 special nature treasures together - like pinecones, smooth stones, or fallen leaves. We'll use them for our tossing game!' Walk around your outdoor space and help them collect.
Watch for: Watch how your child searches for and selects natural items
- 2~30s
Now let's set up our tossing target! Place your towel, blanket, or draw a circle. Say: 'This is our special target. Let's stand about three big steps away. Watch how I hold our nature treasure and toss it underhand toward the target.' Demonstrate a gentle underhand toss.
Watch for: Watch how your child holds and releases the natural item when tossing toward the target
- 3~30s
Now let's add some fun variations! Say: 'Let's try something different. Can you toss the pinecone and make a soft landing? Now try the stone - does it feel different to toss?' Encourage experimenting with different items and distances.
Watch for: Watch how your child adjusts their toss for different items and challenges
