 
Stuffed Animal Jump Rope
Tie a soft rope or
bathrobe belt to the back of a heavy chair ( so it won't
fall over). Then swing the rope as if doing jump rope.
Let your toddler take a stuffed animal and toss it into
the moving rope to see if it can jump the rope. You'll
see that sometimes the stuffed animal will bounce out or
just fall. Your toddler will giggle with delight seeing
all this. If you want to try...let your toddler hold the other
end as you slowly rock the rope back and forth. Then try
to go around once. If you can get that down, use your
other hand to toss the stuffed animal in while you and
your toddler are swinging the rope!
Supplies Needed-
- soft rope, or bathrobe belt
- chair
- stuffed animals
Tips/Suggestions-
- Count 1, 2, 3 before you toss the stuffed animal
in the rope. Go fast and slow.
- Tie some streamers on at the middle of the rope and
watch how they move around while your swing the rope!
- Your toddler might just have so much fun watching the
rope go around and around while she holds it...go with
it!
