Parachute fun - [Special thanks to Toska, our Facebook friend for this idea]
SUITABLE FOR AGES 0-2, 2+
Parachute play is great for a group of children. You can get them to take it in turns to run under; you can put balloons and balls on it and they can make them fly in the air. Little babies can lie under it while you float it up and down on them, they love watching the colours and feeling the air on them. Bigger children can jump up and down under it trying to catch or reach it and they can shake it faster and faster to music to get the balls to fly up or completely off!
REQUIRES MORE THAN 4 PLAYERS
INDOORS - OUTDOORS

Shadow shapes
SUITABLE FOR AGES 0-2, 2+
Your child can practice making shapes against the wall or the ground with their own shadow, make the shape of letters or numbers or hold hands without touching. Try also making shapes on the wall of birds by linking thumbs together and flapping the other fingers, or how about a parrot by touching the first finder to your thumb and spreading the other fingers out like the head plumes of a parrot. What other shapes can you think of? Share them with us on our Facebook page for others mums and dads!
