Parachute Ball Game

I guess we are on a ball game streak!

The boys were throwing plastic grocery bags into the air, so I quickly wanted to think of a way to make that more fun.
I got a wiffle ball and tied each of the handles to it.

Then I showed Westley how you could throw it, but it flew slowly because the bag was acting like a parachute.
We played catch, and we also experimented with how far it we could get it to go when we made sure there was no air in the bag at the beginning of the throw compared to when the bag already had some air.

I will add a warning label since all plastic bags have them:
Caution, use only under direct adult supervision. Plastic bags can cause suffocation.
