Easy Fine Motor Activity: Pipe Cleaner Party! - The Happy Lark

Looking to add to your repertoire of quick and easy activities for littles? Keep this one in your pocket for a rainy day (or let's face it, a triple-digit day).  It's a pipe cleaner party! This is our absolute favorite type of activity: small amount of work for the adult, big entertainment and learning value for the child.  This one has exactly three materials: pipe cleaners, a colander, and beads.  Threading the pipe cleaners through the colander holes is a great fine motor activity for younger children. Model once or twice by sticking a pipe cleaner into the colander, and then let them take the lead.  While older kids will probably enjoy the colander activity too, they'll also enjoy making bracelets, keychains, etc. with beads (just make sure your child is past the point of putting beads in their mouth!
