Cotton Ball Blow

My girlfriend said her toddler loves this one so I tried it at Grupo de Juego and a day care-setting playgroup I run. It was a hit at both places!

It's an excellent game to increase patience, waiting for a cue and understanding boundaries. I also encouraged the moms/care givers to use as many words as possible with tracking like Becky Bailey suggests in many of her games.

For the price of a cotton ball this sure gave us a great way to get eye contact, gentle touch, undivided attention, and playfulness.

I may just keep a cotton ball in my purse!

When and where do you use this game?
