It was a fantastic experience and lead to the creation of fire sticks and more Swiss Family Robinson moments.

Then again, that sort of competitiveness isn't for them. I can see potential coaches in the making though. Not just for javelin either, but for all sorts of 'events' such as shot put, archery, woodchopping, boomerang, etc. It could also lead to discussions about culture & history.<br /><br />I'm sure Tom will always be in the middle of the fun too! We'll be looking for more antics soon.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Greg :DMales in Early Childhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11064609037937034152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-65612592519989797692011-06-18T14:58:33.235-07:002011-06-18T14:58:33.235-07:00Somewhere I read that throwing spears and other ob...Somewhere I read that throwing spears and other objects is central to humans' cognitive development.

I don't know if coordination is up to it, but throwing 'at' a wall or floor of balloons to pop them as the target sounds like fun too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
