This week is February vacation week! I've been planning for this school break for a few weeks now and have been looking for some fun activities to do with the boys. I've got lots of activities planned and I'm hoping to share them as the we go through the week.
The idea for this Paddle Balloon game is from Pen n' Paperflowers and I'm so glad I discovered it. The smiles and laughter I heard reminds me again that children do not need fancy toys in order to have fun - all it takes is a paper plate and a paint stick!
To make the paddles, I broke a paint stick in two (or you can use a large popsicle stick) and glued it to the back of a paper plate.
Add a balloon.....
...and two little boys {or girls}.
If you are looking for a new inside activity to do during the long days of winter, you will want to give this game a try!
