A few weeks ago I was perusing through Walmart's Easter goodies for children and I couldn't resist getting an inflatable ring toss bunny.
0 rings on one ear plus 4 rings on the other ear equal 4 rings in all. |
I don't always read the manufacturer's directions. I don't want to waste my time reading directions for things I already know how to do. Or should I say THINK I know how to do! How difficult could an inflatable bunny be anyway? There are two air valves. Blow air into them . . . right? So I blew up the rabbit. Afterward, my little rabbit would not stand up. There was no way we could use it when it kept falling down. I thought, "My inflatable is defective! It's standing up in the photo on the product packaging but not for me! See the photo below.
This is the packaging from the product. The directions are on the back of the package. |
The ring toss activity is a cute idea but little kids might become frustrated attempting to toss the rings on the rabbits' ears. I would allow the children to simply place the rings on the ears instead of tossing. If you use outdoor learning stations, this might be something that could be adapted as a first grade math station. Students could read an addition sentence on a 3 x 5 card and arrange the rings on the rabbit's ears accordingly. (There were four rings included with the inflatable which makes this work with sums up to four . . . unless you have additional rings.)
That's all for now!
