Yep, yep, yep!!! Beanies are wonderful on the ice. They don’t hurt if you fall on them and they make the parents sitting in the stands think of how wonderful the coaching is that their children are receiving because you are utilizing something to make it fun!
I use rubber duckies in my classes. Try also putting them on the backs of their hands to prevent “Birdie flapping”
Love this! I use these toys for my TOTs all the time and the freestyle skaters get jealous. Thanks for the tips Nathalie AND Sheila.
I like to put them on the back of each hand for the same purpuse.
