Balloon Ballet

A simple, fun way to improve balance, eye-hand coordination, convergence, and visual-motor integration, is Balloon Ballet. Inflate a balloon, play some classical music and tell the child to keep the balloon in the air and not let it touch the floor. I did this most mornings with my first graders, and they loved it. The first thing in the door each morning, they would ask if we were going to do Balloon Ballet?
