He can throw pretty well and can kick. I think around 3 is when kids start really finessing their hand/eye coordination skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-know-how-to-throwcatchkickroll-a-ball#post-468780 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:09:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 468780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the input! We will keep practicing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-know-how-to-throwcatchkickroll-a-ball#post-468655 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 11:31:24 +0000 brownie 468655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 3 is a common age to really purposefully catch and throw and kick. Most of the kids I worked with in gymnastics couldn't do it until then (and catching is really hard). </p> <p>In my mommy and me classes, I would have them sit facing each other and try to throw and catch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-know-how-to-throwcatchkickroll-a-ball#post-468525 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 10:29:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 468525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wagon Jr. is finally throwing, kicking, and catching! Well, he's 3. Haha. But his throw is pretty good-- he has really good follow-through so his throws go straight instead of right into the ground. He can kick pretty well and he's just learned how to catch. Still practicing though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-know-how-to-throwcatchkickroll-a-ball#post-468345 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 09:33:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 468345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At what age should toddlers know how to do these things with a ball? Right now my 16 month old can throw pretty well although sometimes it just lands by her feet. She is really good at kicking a ball around with her feet, maybe she'll be a great soccer player? We would like to teach her how to roll a ball but she just stands up and kicks it. We just started teaching her how to put her arms out to catch but she can't do it yet. </p> <p>We have this ball which is lots of fun! </p> [attach=1506/12/mfqwfb.450x450.taggies-multi-colour-ball-2035-p-1-.jpg]
