Coffee Filter Skating

• Your kid

• Coffee Filters

This one only requires two coffee filters (and maybe a few for back up)! You place one under each foot and “skate” away!

This gets those big muscles moving and requires some coordination to keep those filters on the floor and under their feet. Theo really liked this because we could get super silly with it. Although this activity started with a bang and lots of laughter, it was short lived (which was expected).

Activities lasting 5-10 minutes in toddler years are excellent-their attention spans are super short! I did leave out the filters and Theo revisited this one a few times throughout the morning.

I planned to leave these out for the day so Theo could further explore them and use them again. Who knows, maybe he’ll create another game out of it!
