• soft ball

1. Stand about three feet apart. Use a soft ball — nothing bouncy. 2. Toss gently underhand. "Hands up like a basket! Watch the ball into your hands." 3. Celebrate every catch, no matter how messy. "You got it!" 4. After a few catches, each take one step back. 5. Keep going until the distance gets silly and you're both missing everything. That's the fun part.
