Inside or out relay races are a hit. Easily brought together with simple household items a cottonball race is fast, fun and not messy at all. Use a tablespoon (or large serving spoon for a little one),and a cottonball (although you can vary this activity by using a grape, or a bead.) Use a hallway or a "loop" around the kitchen table. Remember that they are gaining skills in balance, judgement and if they're squealing with delight, they're doing it right!
