Rolling, Throwing, and Kicking a Ball

Safety

Every ball is at least 5 cm (2 in.) across; balls under 1.75 in. (4.4 cm) are banned for children under 3 as a choking hazard (16 C.F.R. 1500.18(a)(17)).
No latex balloons, because pieces of burst balloons are a choking hazard.
Only soft balls are thrown indoors, in a clear area away from windows and other children's work.

1
Sit on the floor facing the child, about 1 m apart, legs apart to make a space.
2
Say, 'I am going to roll the ball to you.' Roll it slowly into the space in front of the child.
3
Wait for the child to push it back. The ball arriving between the legs is the point of interest.
4
Roll it back and forth, saying 'Your turn. My turn.'
5
Standing, show throwing: hold the ball in both hands, bring it back over your head, and throw it into the basket 1 m away.
6
Outdoors, place the ball still on the ground in front of the child's foot. Show swinging one leg and kicking it forward.
7
Put the balls back in their basket at the end.

The ball: it goes to the side or stops short if the push, throw, or kick is off.
