What you need
- Cushions
- A comfortable, open space
- Blocks (optional)
Benefits
This activity helps to promote your child’s awareness of cause and effect when the structure is knocked down. This also helps with hand-eye coordination, turn taking and builds attention span.
The experience
Move to a nice clear and safe place in your home, and start to stack cushions or blocks, taking turns to build a balancing tower. You can start by encouraging your child to help build the structure and have them knock it over a few times. You can also do a separate one and compare your structure to your child’s and knock the cushions or blocks over together!
