\"Baseball<\/figure>

If your preschooler is in need of a little activity, or shows signs of having a love of sports, get them started by teaching them the basics of baseball.<\/span><\/p>\n

Begin with the Basics<\/b><\/h4>\n

Not all children are the same, and some may need more introduction time to throwing and catching than others. Start with the basic fun of tossing a ball back and forth. You can even give them a glove to hold while doing so if they\u2019re highly coordinated.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Try T-Ball!<\/b><\/h4>\n

A good way to teach your little ones about swinging at the plate is through T-ball. Stand your child at the T correctly, showing them how to swing slowly at first. While this activity should be fun and not like a structured lesson, the earlier you show them how to swing correctly, the better.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Keep Practicing<\/b><\/h4>\n

Once your preschooler is comfortable with hitting the ball at the T and can aim fairly well, move on to having them hit a ball that you throw. Softer, bigger baseballs and lighter bats are ideal for smaller children who just need to focus on the motions and will have a harder time aiming. If your child is showing signs of frustration, don\u2019t let them throw their bat or make a fuss. At the preschool level, most of the learning at this point is the basics, and they\u2019re not going to have the hand-eye coordination that the game fully requires.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let this be a fun, light hearted activity that\u2019s mostly about time together and learning the basics. If done right, your child will have a love of the game by the time they\u2019re ready to <\/span>step up to a bigger plate<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
