Try this at home!

You will need:

•⁠ ⁠A colander, draining spoons or anything with holes e.g. kitchen roll tube or egg box

•⁠ ⁠Pipe cleaners, straws, feathers or even laces/sting

•⁠ ⁠Little hands to weave and post the items through the hole

This is a great quiet time activity with many benefits and very little mess!

Fine motor skills are developed - this is great for early literacy learning as it strengthens hand eye coordination.

Creativity and imagination - what patterns can you make with your materials ? Can you turn your colander into a spaceship or your egg box into a robot?

The possibilities are endless!🤩
