The bicep of this sleeve is very fitted on me…it’s fine but there’s not a lot of room. I have a rather small bicep, so much so that I find many patterns to be too big in this area for me. The sleeves are everything! That being said…be aware of the measurement of the bicep. I have made this pattern twice now and love it as a statement piece.
I am always a fan of a blue/white combo and the irregular stripe pattern makes it perfection! My first one feels like cotton with some other unknown fibers weaved in. Who am I kidding? For me, the fabric almost always comes first. In the case of these two jackets, the fabric came first…it was one of those “snap purchases”. There are times that I just want the fabric to be the star and sometimes it’s the pattern. Today I’ll show you two jackets…same pattern. You might say, “do you want to practice throwing? Would you like to play catch right now? Let’s find a softer ball, because throwing things when people aren’t ready can hurt them.Do you mind playing catch…as in catch up …with me? I have lots of makes that have yet to be blogged and it’s about time I get to it. If your toddler starts to throw things at you too hard, or throws things at the wrong time, help them understand that this kind of throwing is not safe. Control and directionĪt first, your toddler will not have control over the direction of their throw, but they will eventually learn how to throw the ball forward. Cheer on their efforts! Paper ballsĬrinkling up paper and throwing it into a box or the recycling bin is fun too, and can be done anywhere. They may need to sit while learning to throw, since standing while throwing requires extra balance. Throwing directly to your toddler can scare them 🥺 Sit to throw When you’re ready to practice throwing, start by showing them how you can throw a soft ball towards a basket.

Guide their throwsįirst, model throwing for your toddler and then let them try. Start by rolling a large soft ball to your toddler and see if they can roll it back to you.
Here are some ideas to help support your toddler’s throwing: Get the ball rolling Give your toddler lots of opportunities to throw appropriate objects at appropriate times. Supported means standing while hanging onto a table with one hand, or with you holding onto their waist or hips. Your toddler may start to throw a ball underhand while sitting, with their arm down at the side and their palm up, sometime around 13 to 16 months.īy around 18 months, your toddler will likely throw a ball forward while in a supported standing position. They’ll be shaking their hands, trying to release the ball from their grip, and will realize the ball has been flung to a distance, bouncing and rolling. Somewhere between 9 and 12 months, your baby may accidentally throw an object. These first throws are more of a fling.Ĭreating safe ways to practice helps build skills that your baby is naturally excited to explore. We get it: you don’t want to teach your baby to start hurling heavy objects all over your home, but we aren’t talking about a perfect underhand pitch or a coordinated overhand throw. Throwing objects is a natural part of play and an early lesson in cause and effect.
