The boys played with these materials for almost an hour! They did a great job taking turns being the person who got to roll the balls. They started with one ball. Then they wanted more of a challenge. They got all the way up to 5 balls at a time. This was a great game for teamwork, counting, colors, gross motors, problem solving and critical thinking!
