What a simple little game to help with exercising children’s lung capacity and strengthening the neck muscles.
Blow through the pipe and the Styrofoam ball floats.
The lightweight ball will rise and hover over the train funnel.
When you stop blowing, the ball will fall.
Blow too hard and it flies away.
Part of the game is to learn how to control your breath, and hold your mouth and tongue so that the ball is not blown too hard and flies away and falls on the ground.
With Practice, the child learns how to blow just the right amount to keep the little ball floating.
By maximizing lung capacity and strengthening muscles it can help with speech and mouth control.
This is an absolute must for most sensory kits, particularly for those seeing a speech therapist.
