Have you met a kid who didn't like pizza? I haven't. This is one of the most amazing plastic inventions ever. You can get kids (ages 3 to 5) to jump, run, hop, balance and walk up stairs with this pizza pie. Kids get excited when you pretend "eat" with them. I like to make the "nom nom" sound when I'm eating and they absolutely crack up!
A few ideas for using the pizza pie:
- Obstacle course: get the pizza and bring it to the table so we can eat it.
- Place a slice over the course of a several flights of stairs. They have to find all the slices of pizza and bring it to the bottom flight of stairs. A work out for both the kids and the therapist.
- Sharing: perform the obstacle course and then ask the kid to share with other therapists in the room.
- Reaching activities: reaching for the slice of pizza and squating down to put in the tray.
Here is a cute pizza with toppings. Extends the game/activity longer if they have to add the toppings to the pizza.
