Target throwing games are a great way to help promote a variety of developmental skills in children including hand eye co-ordination, agility, manipulative and evaluating skills.  Children also build confidence and self-esteem as they become more skilful at these kinds of games.  You can use a variety of resources around the home including boxes, washing baskets or even plastic crates outdoors. Bean bags are great for throwing, however, if you don’t have any of these at home you could use small soft toys, plastic ball pool balls or even small stones outdoors.
