colors and balance

Still learning colors so we pulled out our knitted balls and stood in a semi-circle announcing the color of the ball in our hand and throwing it into the box in the center. Worked wonderfully—kept their attention for 10 minutes. 1-2-3 throw…then get another ball and do it again. then I set up the challenge course—balance beam, 2 ramps, desks and tables in the way. First the beam then up one ramp, down the other, crawl under the table and around the desk. Then backwards. It went very well and no one fell off (thank goodness). Maybe I’ll soon get the courage up to try the seesaw idea (I’m worried about keeping them all occupied when only 2 (maybe 4) can be on the new toy at once)
