Cup Rocket

Today's idea comes from Michigan, where I'm in a warm hoodie and drinking hot cocoa. A lot of ideas may be geared towards girls. Here is an idea for an active little boy that you may have trouble keeping focused in therapy.
Materials:
2 solo cups
A cut out rocket drawing
2 rubber bands
Tape

First either print out a rocket picture and have the client color it or have the client color a picture of a rocket his or her self. Then take the plastic cup make 4 evenly spaced, half-inch cuts in the rim of one cup. Then cut 2 rubber bands, knot them, and place them in the slits so that they are tight. Place the tape over the cuts on the inside of the cup so they are secure. Then put the rocket drawing on the side of the rubber band cup. To use, press the rubber band cup on top of the other cup and bounce it off. The client can use any words for this activity, specifically, up or high. A special thanks to Disney's Family Fun magazine for the fun activity! Hope you enjoy!
