Instructions
1. Sit on the floor with the child and show him how to roll a ball to you.
2. Roll the ball back to the child. As the ball rolls to the child, say,
"Ba...ba...ba..." When the ball reaches the baby say, "Ball."
3. Encourage the baby to roll the ball back to you.
More to do With another caregiver, sit across the floor from each other, each with a
child seated between your legs. Show the children how to roll the ball
back and forth to each other (with your help). As the ball rolls away from
the child in your lap, say, "There goes the ball." As the ball approaches the
other baby, the other caregiver can say, "Here comes the ball."
