Velcro Catch Ball

I love this idea from Make & Takes/Craftzine. It looks fun and affordable, and I think it is perfect for children of all abilities! I'm definitely going to do this with Chloe! Here are the details....

What you'll need:
Winter knit gloves and/or hat (the cheap kind)
Velcro with sticky back circles are best
Plastic round balls ping pong balls or Wiffle balls



Directions:
Place velcro stickers onto each plastic ball. You'll only be using the hard "hook" half of the velcro (we'll have to come up with another use for the fuzzy, soft half). Try to place them evenly. I used 6 circular velcro stickers on each ball; I wanted to make sure my daughter could catch it, so the more velcro the better.




Now it's time to play catch. Only use one glove at a time. One pair of gloves will be enough for 2 people to play catch. One gloved hand can catch the velcro ball and one bare hand can pull it off and throw it back.
