Balancing

The other day while in the Adventure Playground, Mrs. Crew and I noticed two brothers practicing their balancing skills on a spool and 2x4 board. They had most of the board angled down to the ground, but had a little piece sticking up and they were working hard together to try level out the weight of the board with their own weight. Quite a few times they got it where the board was horizontally level and held it there for numerous seconds before bailing and having to reset.

 After the spool was finished with, the boys moved on to the "diving board" where they practiced their jumping skills.

 Funny enough, we captured Mr. Blatz just arriving to the Daycare in one of our shots.  

These type of activities promote teamwork, trust, patience, but also help develop their balance and larger muscles.
