Baby

Tethered Balloon Batting (Supervised)

โฑ Prep time: 3 min ๐ŸŽจ Mess level: Low mess

A balloon on a short string, batted and tracked โ€” great for hand-eye coordination.

Steps

  1. Inflate a balloon and tie a short piece of string or ribbon to it.
  2. Tie the other end to a stroller bar, doorway, or your hand โ€” never leave it loose.
  3. Let your baby bat, grab, and track the balloon as it bobs.
  4. Put the balloon completely away the moment playtime ends.

Notes

Balloons are a choking hazard if popped โ€” this activity requires constant, close supervision and should be put away immediately after.
