Get some large diameter cardboard tubes such as those from rolls of laminating film or gift wrap. Place the tubes side by side at an angle. Propping them on the edge of an outdoor sensory tub works or on the rungs of a climbing structure. Duct tape them in place if needed. During outdoor time, give the children tennis balls to roll down the chutes. Have races and predict whose will reach the bottom first. Vary the weight of the balls – use golf balls or ping-pong balls. Which goes down faster?
