Indoor game with pool stick rackets

[Improve Your Posture!] Play at Home with a Pool Stick Racket

This is a pool noodle racket game that kids and adults can enjoy! First, bend a halved pool noodle into a ring and secure it with tape.

Next, wrap plastic wrap across it in a cross pattern three times, and you’ve got a clear racket! It’s fun to play solo with a balloon, but making another racket to play with a few people sounds great too.

Raising your head and lifting your arms in a “hands up” position is said to help strengthen your back muscles.

Because it’s very light, it’s safe for toddlers to play with.

It’s recommended for both outdoor and indoor play!

Versatile item! Indoor play with a pool cue

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Here are some indoor play ideas using versatile pool noodles.

These easy-to-find pool noodles are great because kids can play with them safely.

While seated, you can make a slope with your knees and roll a pool noodle from the top—watching it pick up speed is lots of fun.

You can also try different activities, like crawling through a bent pool noodle, or moving just before a noodle falls (like the game “stick drop”) to catch it.

The variety of ways to play is a big attraction.

Since they’re made of soft material, they won’t hurt if they bump into the body, making for safe, enjoyable play.

Playing with plastic raffia (Suzuran tape)

Suzuran Tape Play for Ages 0–2

Let’s adapt the ways we play to suit children’s development! Here are some ideas for playing with suzuran tape.

Suzuran tape is a thin plastic tape known for its colorful appearance.

Because the material is light and flexible, you can cut it with scissors, tie it, or weave it, allowing for all kinds of creative variations and uses in different games.

This time, let’s try making a suzuran tape curtain, a suzuran tape “bath,” and suzuran tape pom-poms.

It sounds like these activities will spark excitement and fun.

chimney game

Chimney Game! Ball Play (4- and 5-Year-Olds)

Let’s do our best not to lose to the chimney sweeper! Here’s an idea for a chimney game.

This is a unique game that uses balls and mats.

If your center doesn’t have mats, connected cardboard pieces will also work.

A teacher, transformed into a chimney sweeper, goes inside the chimney.

The children try to toss balls into the chimney so they won’t lose to the sweeper.

They can build skills by making strategies and watching for moments when the teacher lets their guard down.

Give it a try! If you have a large group, a key tip is to prepare more balls than the number of participants.

Sticker making

Puni-puni handmade stickers #playAtHome #handmadeCrafts

We’ll show you how to make original stickers with a soft, squishy feel.

Prepare a clear file folder, a felt-tip pen, water-based color pens, the design illustration you want to use, and glue.

Place the design illustration under the clear file and color it in with the water-based pens.

Then drizzle glue over the top to trace the design and let it harden for a day.

Once it’s hardened, draw the outline with a felt-tip pen—and you’re done! This sticker-making activity is super popular with kids, so give it a try together.

Adventure – YOASOBI

Fluffy and springy! Here are some ideas for using Angel Clay.

Angel Clay is a type of lightweight clay known for its soft, fluffy feel and delightfully springy texture.

In recent years, it’s become easy to pick up at 100-yen shops, which is a nice bonus.

These ideas are perfect for kids who’ve grown tired of regular clay or for when you want to incorporate tactile play at home.

Of course, you can play with it using just your hands, but it’s also great to repurpose materials like plastic cups and straws.

Give it a try!

Building a secret base

Perfect for indoor play!

A play idea that will get kids’ hearts racing with excitement! Here are some ideas for building a secret hideout.

Just hearing the words “secret base” makes both kids and adults excited, doesn’t it? This time, let’s make one using plastic bags and newspapers.

Use clear tape to attach large plastic bags and newspapers together to build your base.

If you blow air in through the entrance with a fan or blower, the base will gently inflate and feel nice and spacious! Napping inside or playing with balloons sounds fun, too.

It’s a unique idea that’s perfect for summer!
