Instructions
1. Check with a bicycle repair shop and ask them to save you discarded
bike tires.
2. Using a strong detergent, clean the bike tires and dry them completely.
(You may need to make a special effort to dry out the water from inside
the tires.)
3. These durable toys can be used in a variety of activities. For example:
* If you are playing a game and need a defined space (such as a starting
and stopping point), define the space with a tire!
* Let the children roll the tires. It is great fun to roll them up and down a
hill, or along a path. This is great for getting the hands and feet
moving together.
* Suspend a tire for a tossing activity. Have children toss soft balls, sock
balls, beanbags, and other soft items through the tire.
