Activities

• Toy Sharing Game

  Start with the two soft toys. Each person takes turns playing with one toy while the other watches. After a few minutes, switch toys. This helps the child learn the joy of sharing.

• Ball Toss

  Stand a short distance apart and take turns tossing the ball to each other. Count how many times you can catch it without dropping it. This encourages taking turns and teamwork!

• Building Blocks Together

  Use the colorful blocks to build a tower together. Take turns adding one block at a time. This activity shows how working together can create something fun!
