In need of a quick activity for the boys and having a few cotton balls lying around from our Spiders web game, cotton ball painting and cotton ball land I grabbed some drinking straws and set the boys up for some quick cotton ball fun.
I gave the boys a handful of cotton balls and a straw each then added a taped line to the floor.
They soon found their competitive spirit and started to race by blowing their cotton balls with the straws.
The temptation to pick the ball up and push it towards the finish line kicked in a few times, but on the whole they were very good at racing each other.
Then Bud discovered not only could he blow the cotton ball with the straw, but he could also suck it up and hold it onto the straw.
Great for me as there was practically no set up and the boys had a lot of fun, plus it burnt off a bit of that competitive, physical energy that requires an outlet.
