You need
- socks (6 pairs)
- a laundry basket
Steps
- 1. Roll each pair of socks into a ball.
- 2. Put the basket a few big steps away.
- 3. Throw the sock balls into the basket.
- 4. Every time one goes in, take one step back.
⚠ Safety · Stay nearby
Throw only soft sock balls, never hard toys.
Stop if:
- Throwing turns into throwing at people
Easier
Stand right next to the basket.
Harder
Throw with the other hand, or underarm and then overarm.
Only 5 minutes?
Five throws each.
Why it matters: Aiming and throwing train the eyes and arms to work together.
Clean-up: Unroll the socks and put them back in the drawer, pair by pair.
