Recreate the beloved classic toddler parachute using a bedsheet!
- Stuffed animals
Grab a bedsheet and lay it flat on the floor. Take one side and give the other side to your child and practice lifting it up and down together using the words “high” and “low.” After you’ve practiced, put a favorite stuffed animal on top of the bedsheet and see how high you can make it jump, how low it can jump, try making it dance, etc. Add another stuffed animal on top and continue playing!
