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] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taggies-blankets-worth-it#post-288900 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 20:37:13 +0000 Weagle 288900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had a lovey and, so far, LO hasn't attached herself to anything either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taggies-blankets-worth-it#post-288433 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 12:57:27 +0000 Mrs.B 288433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessicaMcB: My almost 4 year old is completely attached to his. He used to walk around holding the tag on the side of his shirt. I bought him his taggie about 2 years ago. He has loved it ever since. Once we took away the pacifier at 3 he replaced it with his taggie he even takes it to school with him everyday (in his backpack). My daycare girl though has zero interest in a lovey so I guess it really depends on the child. My daycare girl also never took a pacifier so maybe she just self soothes better then DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taggies-blankets-worth-it#post-288418 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 12:30:26 +0000 JennyD 288418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend ordered me one off etsy. It's pretty cool, with blue, orange and yellow tags. I have a girl but I'm not into the pink think, so I was thrilled with it. My LO likes it, but she's more of a fan of her blankets (like, actual blanket). I made my sister one for her girl. It's pretty simple if you can sew and want to or have the time. </p> <p>Growing up, and to this day, I've always had a favourite blanket (it's changed over the years). So I made my baby a quilt, and I'm hoping it becomes her favourite, but she's too little to use it just now. But we bought her a teddy bear, because my husband thinks every baby should have a special teddy, and we've been trying to force it on her for like 3 months now. She's finally starting to notice it, but I think her biggest "comfort" item is her teething necklace. She's often pulling on it and sucking on it and fingering it, especially when she's upset (she never took a pacifier and isn't a thumb sucker). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taggies-blankets-worth-it#post-288355 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 10:53:11 +0000 JessicaMcB 288355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this point in time we're pretty set-up for Emma's arrival anytime in the next 2-6 weeks. However, when I was hanging out in her nursery the other day (am I the only weirdo that does this?) I noticed we haven't really bought her a lovey.</p> <p>As a kid I really attached to this blanket with sateen edging that felt similar to a taggie blanket and today I thought- hey Emma might like something like that! </p> <p>Do your LO's like the taggie blanket? Are there any more "girl-friendly" colored taggie blankets? If you're Canadian- where did you buy yours? </p>
