Play and Learn

Another fun, new activity for the babies today!  The library ordered a roll of fabric for a project and I got the long, sturdy tube it was on!  I had three hard balls that fit in the tube and the babies loved to run after the balls as they came out the end.  One little guy would put the ball in the tube and let go, then stick his arm in up to his elbow trying to get the ball back!  Another one was determined to to make the balls go up the tube!  A couple of the older babies (18 months) seemed to kind of get the idea of the ball rolling down the tube and coming out the other end!

I think I will hold onto the tube for another time!
