This sensory-play activity is a fantastic way for toddlers to develop their cognitive skills and fine motor skills. Furthermore, it gives little ones the opportunity to get creative as they put their hand-eye coordination to the test!

Colander
Pipe cleaners
This activity is super-easy to set up – simply place a colander and a pile of pipe cleaners on a table or on the floor. Then demonstrate how to thread the pipe cleaners through the holes in the colander. Next step… get the kids to give it a go!*
Encourage the kids to try different things. How many holes can they thread one pipe cleaner though? Can they create interesting shapes and colourful patterns? Or even a quirky sculpture?!
(*Please be aware most pipe cleaners contain a metal wire. Adult supervision is advised.)
