Need a low-mess, indoor activity for toddlers or preschoolers? This engaging activity can be put together for free if you have the materials on hand or for less that $5 with a quick trip to the dollar store!

Materials
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Plastic strainer with holes
Directions
  1. Turn the strainer upside down.
  2. Show your child how to thread one end of the pipe cleaner into one hole and the other end of the pipe cleaner into another hole.
  3. Encourage your child try the task on their own.
This activity is a great way to practice hand/eye coordination, fine motor skills and creative thinking!
