Pipe Cleaner Activity for Little Busy Hands

As I mentioned in my previous post we are set out with series of fine motor activities that would keep your little ones' little hands busy for hours. And this Pipe Cleaner activity is a perfect one. Chenille stems, or the pipe cleaners, can be bent into any shape and are thin enough to string beads too. I love them because they come in different colors and even glitter, sparkly pipe cleaners are available and fairly inexpensive.
This activity is so simple to set up, all you need is pipe cleaners and a colander. 


Turn your colander upside down and show your kiddo how to insert the pipe cleaners into the holes of the colander. 






LO was very curious in taking out a new pipe cleaner out of the pack than inserting them in the colander😁
 


LO loved the versatility of the pipe cleaners and its soft texture. He loved bending them into different shapes. He associated each color with an animal and he had his own story for each of them😁
 





 We also tried pulling the pipe cleaners out of the colander.




And finally cleanup!!


It was a complete fun filled fine motor activity with learning the colors and some imaginative play. 

Happy Parenting!😊
