    My son got given a tennis racquet for his 3rd birthday but was finding it difficult to hit the ball more than once with it (he loves any ball sports!) but I saw this and we tried using balloons and he can repeatedly hit them – such a confidence booster and soo much fun – a new dimension to ‘keepy uppy balloons’! Thanks for the idea.
