Wow that is an.awesome idea
We ended up with these small plastic racquets from a dollar store pack....they were about the size of the ones used for ping pong, but were lightweight and mimicked tennis racquets in their design. One very hot or very rainy day (which is most of the time for us) we got a tennis ball and used the plastic racquets to hit it to and fro in an open area of the house. The ball was required to remain on the ground. And there were boundaries along pieces of furniture. It wasn't a huge area. The object was to get the highest number of successful passes. It doesn't sound like a lot.....but when young children get their comedy involved, it doesn't take a lot! Right?
