Colorful Toothpicks Activity

I love making DIY toys for Jenn, and this is one of them. It's a simple color recognition activity and also practice their little fingers' muscles.




What you need:


  • Empty bottle (I upcycled a mineral water bottle)
  • Thick plastic (as the cover)
  • Colorful stickers
  • Toothpick
  • Rubber bands
  • Marker
We had to color the toothpicks with markers, we made 6 different colors. You may have more colors, depends on the size of your bottle. Stick on colorful stickers and make a hole, not too big, but just enough to fit in the toothpicks. Cover the bottle with the plastic and secure with rubber bands.






Jenn needs extra patient and concentration to do this activity, but she loves it so much. She will ask for more when all the toothpicks are inside the bottle.

Learning Alphabet "D"

It's been a while since she mess around with pencil color, crayon and paint, so here is a simple activity for letter D.

Print out a big and small letter of D with a picture of duck and dog. Let them use whatever they want to color it with.




My little Picasso is doing her thing, busy picking colors.




Jenn used crayon, pencil color and paint for this activity. This is the final of her coloring activity.

Learning Alphabet "C"

After doing the letter "A" and "B" activity, here comes the letter "C" activity. "C" is for cat and car. It involves sticking, matching and coloring activity.




What you need:

  • Cardboard
  • Stickers
  • Cotton Balls
  • Glue

I rolled the cotton into balls and dye it with food coloring, took a while to let it dry. Use pom pom balls for another option.




She did pretty well at matching the alphabets, the activity requires to match the letter and color. It's her 1st time using glue and she's so excited about it, not letting go off her hand.




Last activity is to let her color the car with colorful markers. Enjoy!
