Having a Ball in the Bath

For an alternative to having balls in a ball pit, why not try putting them in the bath tub. They can go in an empty bath, but personally I think much more fun can be had with them in a tub full of water!

 George loved splashing around in the balls. Having a range of colours can simulate creative language, as your child labels the colours of the balls.

 "Look at my googly eyes Mummy"

During this fun activity, George began using descriptive language and also showed an awarness of self as he labelled his body parts.

Yes, the balls did get rolled down the slide you can see in the picture!
