In the art center, provide each child with a medium-sized paper bag, newspaper, markers and crayons. Each child will write his/her name on a bag and decorate it. Then ask the children to tear lots of newspaper into strips and stuff the strips into their bags until they are about three- quarters full. Fold over the top of the bags and securely tape shut. Have the children squish and shape them so they are round like a ball. Outside, encourage the children to pair up and take turns throwing the ball to each other.
