Ceiling Activities for Kids

No wonder Pinatas are such a hit at parties.  Kids love whacking things.  Here's a safer alternative to that dreaded stick used on pinatas.  Use Paper towel dowels instead.  We duck tape ours with fun colors.  Best part is you can hang what ever you want to match the theme of your party/lesson/play date.  Use duck tape to suspend all strings from ceiling.  It holds up best.

As an extension, hand out robot arms and have kids pick up moon rocks (aluminum foiled balls).

One of my favorite spring time activities. Print out fly images, cover in clear shelving liner, tie a string and hang from the ceiling. The kids swat the flies with fly swatters.

This is a great Halloween activity and adds to the decor. Suspend ghosts out of reach from the ceiling and when ready to start activity, lower them down. I did this by using regular tape, so I could just tear the tape to loosen the string lower.

Hung feathers from the ceiling and had the kids blow them with straws. As an extended activity, I had them tape several straws together to form a big straw. While laying on the floor, they had to blow their feathers with their long straws.
