Bead Threading for Toddler

Bead threading is an activity which improves their fine motor control, strengthening those little muscles in their hand. I found it also helps for hand and eye coordination and also concentration skill. This activity involves small item: beads, please never leave them unattended while doing this activity.

What you will need:
Beads
Thread (It works well with pipe cleaners too!)

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.
