Chase that Ball
SUITABLE FOR AGES 0-2, 2+
Trying to encourage your child to crawl? This is a great way of getting those little hands and feet moving! Using a small ball that they would be able to hold, gently roll the ball away from where they are sitting and encourage them to crawl after it! Start from only a short way away to begin with, and then roll it further each time to help build their confidence! If you have an older child, why not encourage them to be the ones to roll the ball? As older children love to teach kids new things!

Musical Instruments - [Special thanks to Kate, our Facebook friend for this idea]
SUITABLE FOR AGES 0-2, 2+
Music time is great fun and making the instruments yourself even more so. Get pots and pans and wooden spoons for the drums, put pasta and rice in water bottles for shakers. Get a box and put elastic bands around it for a guitar and kitchen roll and toilet roll tubes to make the trumpets. Then make as much noise as you can with your own little band!
