| Expected effects and results | Younger and older children could repeatedly practice the correct way of hitting the balloon until they mastered it. |
| How to use |
1. Place the balloon, which is attached to the tip of a rod, in the appropriate position where the child can easily hit it. 2. Have the child check their hitting motion unhurriedly so that they can master the correct way of hitting. 3. Shift the hitting point from right to left and up and down as needed, and have the child practice hitting. Note: The length of the string can be adjusted by wrapping the string around the rod. |
