toega

Last week I introduced "toega" to my littles. I walked into the studio and flung these pom-poms all over the place and their little faces lit up.

I found them in the wonderful dollar section of Target. Michael's or Hobby Lobby or any craft store will have them. I placed cups along the studio floor and the kids had to sort them by color, picking them up with only their tiny yoga toes.  

Toega is a fun and easy way to practice balance and it gets them spreading their toes wide, working all of the muscles of their feet. And for the really little ones (maybe in a mommy and me yoga class with toddlers), it's an exercise in color identification.
