Croquet fun: Enjoy the pleasure of hitting the ball through the hoop on the grass
For babies under 6 months of age, croquet may not be suitable for direct participation. Babies at this stage are still in the early stages of visual and motor development, and are more suitable for some simple visual tracking and hand grasping exercises. Parents can help their babies develop visual tracking skills by rolling brightly-colored balls that attract their attention.
Babies from 6 months to 1 year old already have some visual tracking ability and hand grasping ability. Parents can use a soft ball and let the baby try to touch and push the ball with their hands. Babies at this stage are very interested in rolling and moving objects, and the sport of croquet can serve as a fun interactive game to help them further develop hand-eye coordination.
Children between the ages of 1 and 3 already have basic walking and running skills and can try to participate in a simple game of croquet. Parents can use a lighter mallet and a larger ball to let the baby play freely on the grass. At this stage, the baby has a clearer understanding of the trajectory and speed of the object, and croquet can help them further improve their judgment and reaction speed.
Babies over the age of 3 have strong athletic ability and a sense of teamwork, and can participate in more complex croquet games. Parents can organize family competitions, so that the baby can cooperate with other children to complete the task together. Babies at this stage can further enhance their physical fitness, team spirit and self-confidence through croquet.
