My son purchased the Cuponk game today. While the kids were playing with the new game, it reminded me that there are some great gross motor and fine motor things you could do with ping pong balls.
1.) Have child bounce and "catch" the ping pong ball. Their catch may require them to "hug" the ball to their chest to totally capture and keep the ball under control, but they are still using their hand eye coordination!
2.) Throw/bounce the ping pong balls into buckets set in a row. Remember watching this on the BOZO show that was on WGN?
3.) Use a sharpie to write #'s or letters on ping pong balls. Place the balls in a tub with some water. Give the child a large spoon to practice spooning out the ping pong balls. Have them identify the # or letter as they spoon out each ball. When finished have then place all #'s or letters in order.
