Here’s a simple activity that can keep a child amused for long periods while increasing her focusing skills and eye-hand coordination

Batting Practice

Materials:
Ball or balloon
Rope
Pantyhose or net bag (optional)
Rolled up newspaper or bat

Directions:
Hang a ball or balloon from a low tree branch so that it's at the right height for your child to hit with a bat. A ball can be put inside a torn pair of pantyhose or net bag and hung.

Use a rolled up newspaper or stick for a bat and let your child whack away!
